What describes the scope of practice for ATR-BC in clinical settings?

In clinical settings, an ATR-BC works within clearly defined professional competencies and holds the appropriate licensure or credentials, which allows them to conduct assessments, contribute to treatment planning, and provide therapy—often in collaboration with other professionals—while strictly adhering to ethical codes. This scope ensures practice is evidence-based, accountable, and client-centered, with informed consent and confidentiality upheld. The other contexts described—performing only non-clinical art experiences without assessment, practicing without licensure or only under informal supervision, or working exclusively in academic research—do not reflect the licensed, collaborative, ethics-driven clinical role that defines ATR-BC practice.
