Assisted Independence requires that all treatment plans cite a minimum of two evidence-based
practices and/or peer-reviewed journals to support the recommended interventions selected for the individual.
When looking for evidence-based practices and peer-reviewed journals, Recreational Therapists have access to
a Gmail Google Drive account containing hundreds of peer-reviewed literatures. The username is
assistedindependenceintern@gmail.com and the password is “internship”. When logging in, a two-factor
authentication will occur, for which the Director of Recreational Therapy will provide an access code. As the
Recreational Therapist is reading journals, the Recreational Therapist should be guided by the evidence in
choosing the correct recreational treatment. Make sure to cite the sources of the journal in American
Psychological Association (APA) format at the bottom of the treatment plan.
