The Texas Rehabilitation Association
The Texas Rehabilitation Association (TRA) is a nonprofit professional membership organization that provides training with continuing education credits, facilitates networking among professionals, and encourages development/maintenance of local subchapters for local activities (TRA Web site: http://www.txrehabassoc.org).
TRA is an affiliate of the National Rehabilitation Association (NRA) and a member of the Southwest Region of NRA. “The National Rehabilitation Association is a member organization whose mission is to provide ethical and excellent practice in rehabilitation.” NRA members automatically become members of state and regional chapters, as well as local subchapters. NRA, SWR, and TRA hold annual conferences.
