Support people with disabilities at all levels. (National Therapeutic Recreation Society).

Regardless of whether you're a programmer, administrator, advocate or educator, the National Institute of Recreation Inclusion has an educational track to help you provide community services for people with disabilities. With more than 40 sessions at this year's institute, you'll have the opportunity to gain invaluable knowledge about inclusion. Scheduled for Sept. 8-11 in Las Vegas, the institute will feature presentations such as:

* From Monsters to Magic: Why Inclusion. Shannon Marling, CTRS, and Colleen Wittig, CTRS, will identify the barriers that many stakeholders affected by inclusion services have, such as fear, control, cost and change.

* Beyond Disability: The Other Elements of Diversity. Dr. Deb Jordan of Oklahoma State University will discuss exclusionary policies, procedures and approaches for various elements of diversity, and their impact on various participant groups.

* Assistive Technology Makes Recreation Possible for All: Dr. Sherril York of Oklahoma Able Tech will define assistive technology, devices and services, and discuss barriers that prevent inclusion.

* What's Reasonable About this Accommodation?: John McGovern will discuss the Americans with Disabilities Act, federal mandates and the use of reasonable accommodations.
