Providing Recreation Services for all Individuals: The Connection of Inclusive Practices to Commercial, Community, and Outdoor Recreation Students
Piatt, Jennifer A.; Jorgensen, Lisa J.
Schole: A Journal of Leisure Studies and Recreation Education, v26 n2 p59-64 2012
Individuals with disabilities currently represent the largest minority group in the United States, yet recreation undergraduate students often perceive this as a population they may or may not provide services to in their future careers. The activities presented in this paper, Inclusion Knowledge Audits (IKA), are developed to make the connection between inclusion (for all people) to the provision of leisure services in all recreation settings. Focusing on the cultural competencies needed to work with individuals with disabilities, IKAs have been designed as both in-class and out-of-class assignments where students are provided the opportunity to connect coursework on inclusion and disabilities to their specific area of interest (e.g., community, commercial, or outdoor recreation).
