The White House Conference on Handicapped Individuals: Delegate Workbook. Workshop IV: Social Concerns (2). Attitudes/Recreation/Cultural.
The fourth of eight delegate workbooks prepared for the May, 1977 White House Conference on Handicapped Individuals contains ballots for the workshop on attitudes toward the handicapped and provision of recreational and cultural experiences to the handicapped. The ballots are designed to enable delegates to assign priorities to various issues and proposals in a way that reflects conclusions of state and territorial conferences. The following issues are among those considered: mass media promotion of positive attitudes toward the handicapped; encouragement of social contact between handicapped and normal persons; design of recreational services and facilities; and career opportunities in the arts for handicapped persons. For each such topic, multiple proposals, to which delegates must assign priorities, are listed. For example, to increase cultural opportunities it is recommended that the public broadcasting programs incorporate more subtitles for the deaf, that more classics and best sellers be made available to the visually impaired through the talking book program, or that lists of entertainers willing to perform where handicapped persons are confined be compiled.
