The AATA home page is designed to inform art therapists about legislative activities and issues affecting the practice of art therapy on the federal level and in each state. AATA is developing a network to inform art therapists to learn about federal legislative issues affecting the practice of art therapy. Until the network is developed, art therapists can keep informed by contacting the Government Printing Office. Affiliate chapters of the AATA have been established in many states.
Chapters conduct meetings and activities which promote the field of art therapy on a local level.
Chapters also provide a forum for addressing legislative and professional issues as well as a network for people working toward common goals. Information will be updated periodically. To add new information regarding your state's legislative efforts or to find out more information about the legislative issues in your state, please contact your AATA affiliate chapter governmental affairs chair.
