Even though a few of y'all like to tease & call me "Doctor Ice" (now THAT would be a big promotion!!) I am technically only a Therapist. However, since I have passed certain qualifications required by Civil Service laws, I qualified for a promotion to TRS2 (Therapuetic Recreational Specialist, level 2) which is as high as one can get promoted without actual liscensure. This promotion is retroactive to last month, so I'll get a little chunk of back pay once the paperwork goes through!
Even though by CS mandate I fall under the category of TRS2, my actual field is specialized on Experinetial Therapy first (or ROPES, where I am the head honcho for our facility on the food chain), Recreation Therapy (physical activity groups as well as social skills, leisure education, etc.) and most recently pulling duty as a Music Therapist.
So even though there is no MD or PHD behind my name, I can sign documents "TRS2" as well as "MTRF" and "CCI" and as The Ancient Rocker!
