Why recreation integration?

Abstract

Recreation experiences are a vital part of people's lifestyles. Enjoyable, re-creating activities lead to an enhancement of a person's quality of life. All individuals have the right to try to attain their full creative potential. Not all sections of our society have equal opportunities for recreation. Therefore these people do not have the same chances to improve their quality of life through recreation. People with physical disabilities are one section of society who miss out on recreation opportunities. The study to follow discusses this problem and a process called recreation integration. The purpose of this study is to illustrate and practically apply the process of recreation integration and thus show why recreation integration.
