Bilingual Art Therapist Request
posted 9-26-09
Dear Bilingual Art Therapist,
My name is Amanda Alders and I am currently in the process of getting in contact with bilingual (Spanish/English) art therapists in the Florida area. It is my intention to design a research study expanding upon a previous pilot study that I conducted last year. The upcoming research study may require the recruitment of multiple bilingual art therapists to provide art therapy sessions to Hispanic older adults in residential facilities for 12 weeks. In order to proceed with the study and plan adequately, I need to know if there are a number of bilingual art therapists who would be available to work for 12 weeks starting in the Fall of 2010.
It is possible that participation as a bilingual art therapist in the study could result in an hourly compensation. However, at this point, I am unable to say for sure.
Please fill out the following online contact form so that I may contact you when/if the study is approved and the funding amount is determined:

Once I have your contact information, I will be able to check to see if you are available during at the onset of the study and inform you of the amount of compensation being offered.
Thank you in advance,
Amanda Alders
