Leisure Preferences and Leisure Communication with Peers of Elementary Students with and without Disabilities: Educational Implications
Leyser, Yona; Cole, Karen B.
Education, v124 n4 p595 Sum 2004
The present study examined and compared the leisure activities and communication about leisure among peers of a large sample of preadolescents without disabilities and their peers with identified disabilities. All responded to a questionnaire about leisure. Findings revealed that these preadolescents participated in a large number and variety of leisure pursuits alone, with family, and with friends. Leisure choices and interests were often discussed with peers. The variables of disability and in particular of gender impacted the choice of leisure activities and the conversations about leisure. Implications for educators in general and special education are discussed.
