CAPABILITY CARD · Healthcare

The Recreational Therapists capability card.

One link that proves what you do — the work, the tools, the market, and the path to better contracts.

There are 14,930 recreational therapists in the U.S. The ones who win the work a buyer actually budgets for don't hand over a flat PDF — they send a living capability card. Built and maintained by our New Jersey team.

What your card proves

The work a buyer needs to see at a glance.

A client or contracting officer scanning ten recreational therapists wants fast proof you actually do the work. These are the core duties O*NET ties to your field — your capability card turns them into scannable proof points instead of a wall of text.

Duty 01
Instruct patient in activities and techniques, such as sports, dance, music, art, or relaxation techniques, designed to meet their specific physical or psychological needs.
Duty 02
Conduct therapy sessions to improve patients' mental and physical well-being.
Duty 03
Plan, organize, direct, and participate in treatment programs and activities to facilitate patients' rehabilitation, help them integrate into the community, and prevent further medical problems.
Duty 04
Observe, analyze, and record patients' participation, reactions, and progress during treatment sessions, modifying treatment programs as needed.
Duty 05
Develop treatment plan to meet needs of patient, based on needs assessment, patient interests, and objectives of therapy.
Duty 06

Where you stand

A real market — compete on proof, not price.

Nationally, 14,930 recreational therapists earn a median of $61,960 a year (BLS OEWS, May 2024). In a market that size, the businesses that win the better work don't lead with the lowest number — they lead with a credible, current capability card. That's exactly what we build.

Tools that signal you're current

The government-contracting edge

Where the steady budgets actually are.

Federal agencies obligated $5.1B in Offices of Physicians (except Mental Health Specialists) contracts in FY2024 (USAspending.gov). When a contracting officer or prime sizes up a small business, a living capability card — cert status, NAICS coverage, SAM registration, core offerings, all current — is exactly what they expect to see. We build yours to land in that lane.
