  • WHERE WE HAVE BEEN.

8
Brief History - TPED
  • Originally established in the early 1980s to
    work toward licensure
  • 1985 -renewed investigation into licensure
  • 1986- the cost to begin the process for licensure
    anticipated over 50,000

9
  • 1987 New Directions Task Force proposed to drop
    the licensure effort and focus on the registry
    process.
  • 2004 Development of broad, new Strategic Plan
    for organization direction/focus
  • 2007 Legislative action added Diagnosticians
    into code.

10
We believe it is NOW time to look more boldly
into the future, to be willing to step outside
the previous boundaries, and be proactive with
regard to the organization and the profession.
