This manual provides information and resources for professionals in parks and recreation and human services to facilitate inclusive recreation services. Clear strategies to include people with disabilities in community recreation opportunities are based on the belief that inclusion happens one person at a time. Each person participating in recreation programs, including individuals with disabilities, is a unique individual with unique needs. Although this manual was designed as a tool to facilitate inclusion of individuals with disabilities in the everyday world of recreation program delivery, concepts and approaches can be applied to anyone with differences. Since the focus is on the person, not the disability, disability related information is provided in Appendix B. Each of seven chapters is laid out in a format that could be used in staff training sessions. Each chapter ends with an interactive assignment, either to help clarify concepts, or assist readers in putting material into practice. Sidebars on each page provide statements to clarify further content and concepts. Titles of the seven chapters are Chapter 1--Why Is Recreation Important to People with Disabilities?, Chapter 2--What is Inclusion?, Chapter 3--What is Physical Accessibility and How Is It accomplished?, Chapter 4--What is Program Accessibility and How Is It Accomplished?, Chapter 5--What Are Administrative Concerns With Inclusion?, Chapter 6--What is Networking?, and Chapter 7--What Are Challenges to Inclusion?
