Presented are duplications of the responses given by the Nassau County Department of Recreation and Parks (East Meadow, New York) as part of a project to collect, share, and compile information about, and techniques in the operation of 18 community action models for recreation services to the disabled. Model programs are categorized as consumer, client competency, recreation and leisure services, parks and recreation, rehabilitation, and voluntary health agency models. Reported are program services in the following areas: the population served (disabled adults); primary activities (parties, dances, theatre, swimming, picnic events, and fashion shows); primary facilities used (a large centrally located building with all architectural barriers removed); staffing (a consultant, an administrator, seven recreation leaders, and 15 volunteers); total budget ($3,900,000) and primary sources of support (county funds); and values and goals achieved through the program (to provide community based programs, integrated with the non-disabled and aimed at social integration). A copy of the completed survey form is also provided. (SBH)
