Art Therapist?

I couldn't decide if this job sounds really horrible or really awesome.

The Art Therapy job that I researched involved children needing special education.

You are responsible for developing individualized goals and objectives for each referred student, based off the student's emotional, perceptual, cognitive, physical, and social level of functioning. (This, I would like. It just means that I would have to really get to know each student, and work in depth with a few people rather than work briefly with a plethora.) You have to maintain up-to-date documentation of contact, incorporate the student's art therapy goals and objectives in the individualized education and treatment plan, and perform administrative tasks suck as maintaining materials, equipment, requisitioning supplies and organizing art therapy room.


Qualifications:
  • Master’s Degree in Art Therapy is required.
  • Professional Credential of Art Therapist Registered (ATR), awarded by the
 Art Therapy Credentials Board, is required. 
  •  Experience with ED/LD/DD children is required.  At least two years experience 
in art therapy with children is required.

    Art Therapy seems extremely cool for the right people. I can't tell if I would like it or not, though.
