Activities Professional

Activities professionals provide elderly and disabled clients opportunities to pursue social, mental, creative, spiritual, and recreational activities. They work in long-term care nursing, boarding, or retirement homes; swing bed or subacute units; assisted living or senior centers; or adult daycares. Students will acquire the skills to meet the federal Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1987 standards for long-term care and the Wyoming State Health Department’s qualifications to manage an activity program. The program includes 90 classroom hours and 90 practicum hours. This program is approved by the National Certification Council for Activities Professionals and endorsed by the Wyoming Activity Coordinators Association.
