In this 4 page paper, the writer examines community recreation programs for disabled persons, the importance of reinforcing achievements, techniques such as the use of "sight words," and more. It is made clear that many disabled people fail to participate in such activities and that although a number of skills are usually required, it is usually worthwhile for them to do so. Participation is known to enhance exploration of the environment, expanded repertoire of recreation skills, increased opportunities for social interactions, and improved physical fitness among disabled persons. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
