_Iowa through a grarit from the U.S. Bureau of,Education for the Handicapped.Mr. William A.. Hillman, Jr. is the'VEH projeat offIcer. Lm conjunction with

.

the LEISURE PROJECT arid as part of a new 1980-83 prOect submittia,to the U.S.Bureau of Education for the Handicapped, the,SPECIAL RECREATION PROJECT, staff'support was prOVided for the design and implememtation of a limited, prelim-inary survey on "Campus Recreation and Disabled Students." The iurver wasof

.conducted dull'ing the summer of 1979.. r .

. ,

The results of the preliminary 'survey are being used in two ways. First,

'a report of,the findings of the survey is. being provided to the Associationon Handicappai.Students Services Programs in Post Secondary Education and'to.individualb who responded to the Survey. Second, arCarticle has, been Prepared,based 9n the survey and submitted to Leisure Today forinclusion An a.special --

Purling the 4180.to 1983 period' it is anticipated that a 'second survey wilt

'be condhcted on special recreation for disabaed,college students. The survey

willNbe sent toa larger number of inst utions and will requeSt more infor-laatian than the prekiminary survey. Th findings-of the survey will be used in'

The goal of this effort is to facilitate mainstreaming of disabled col-lege/university Students in all aspects of recreation -- cultural events,cultural facilities, such as museums and theaters, intramurals, the performingarts, social activitiesind sports.

The Challenge Today4

Thd provision of campus recreation opportunity.for postsecondary students

r.. ,is an intigral aspect Of all postsecondary education.' Recreation bpportunity;

take.sgthe form of fine,arts and crafts, athletics, clubs and fraternities,. .

.&Acerp, dance, drama and theater, music, recreation sports-and intramurals,

social recreation, spectator events and .travel.'

The passage oS the Rehabilitation'Act of 1973 and Section SO4 requires the

elimination of discrimination against people who are handicapped, including

handicapped-students. Any'college or un iversity that discriminates against

disabled students jeopardizes its Federal funding. Aware of the educational

guarantee being provided, handicapped peopl*e have mooed to enroll in postsecon-.

dary education. Aware of.fht,responsibility thOt they have to the handicapped,

. colleges and universities hive moved to provide facility, program and service

access. Acces's-to campus life cor handicapped students should include access.

to campus recreation. . %

What can'and what are postsecondary schools doing to meet the recreation

*Ineedp of students? What obligation is perceived to provide services?" What

goals are beirig set? What successes are being experienced? What proIlems are

being confronted?

The' Recreation Needs of Disabled Students

Dr'. Theodore F. Childs, Chairman of the)avision of Allied Heaith'and

Professoi it Tuskegei Institute in Tuskegee, labama and former director of

the Special Seryices program at Long Island Uni ersity, Brooklyn, New York,,

has been a' leading innovator since 1966 in th evelopment of college and

university special services for students who -are handicapped. Dr. Childs'

states the following: (1) A

. . .

We found an enormous recreation deficit among our handicappedstudents at Lcing Island University. They had. experience onlyin going to places where they had to go, to clinics, to hospitalsand to rehabilitation centers. .They had no experience In goingto recreation facilities arecreation events or recreationactivities. Thus, we believed that it was very important forspecial students to attend sportsevents, concerts and to go toart museums. It is terribly important that colleges and .

.

1

t

.

. udiersities give priority to recreation for the handicapp0-per on because tlFougtout his or,her lifetime the person who .

.

is handicapped has greater needtfor recreation skills thannon-handicapped. '

. ,

The National Survey' .a

A major national survey of highei education services, programs and-facili-

ties accessible to handicappid students"in the United States was organized by

ABT Associates, Inc. (2) (3). (A second survey aid directory are'being.pre-.,

pared,for publication iLl980.) (4)

Five hunared-Ppostsecoddary institutions responded to the survey which

covered all aspects of the college or university experience including services',

classes'and facilities. The survey resulted in a major information, resource

entitled,.TheCollage Guide for Students with Disabilities.

, Number of Disabled College Students

In 1976, 25,000 disabled students were reported by SOO institutiou of

higher education. (3) It is probable that there are 100,000 students attending

over 3,000 American institutions ofhigher education who are recognized as

being disabled. Given a significant population of students whose disabilities

are not visible and, therefore, not known or not counted, it is probable that

in 1980 there are an additional 200,.000 disabled students enrolled in institu-

tionsAof higher education in the United*States.*

.

The following are the general categories of disability thAx are encountered:'. T, *

hearing impaired; physically impaired, speech impaired, emotionally impaired and

visually..

impaired.l A

Data on Service Related to Recreation'Provided'

The responses of the 500 colleges and unixersities indicated that the

f.

..,,,following recreation related services were bping provided: special phytical

education course of ered - 109, 22 %; Disabled Students Organization - 75, 15%;

and Disabled Student Recreatiolyor Sports Club - 4, 1%.

The student organizationsand the recreation clubs provide primary means

of developing recreation opportunity. It may be anticipated that disabled

student organizations will increase as a means o£ furthering, representation,

consumerism and advocacy. The decade of thp 1980's will undoubtedly be one

duiling which interest iroupS advance their.. causes through organized activity.

it is 'highly desirable"that students include campus recreation among their

priorities. .

Special Recreation Clubs

The ipecial.recreation club is one option open to disabled college students

and services. The University of Arkansas sponsors a judo club for students who

dm blind. California State University:at NortkFidge sponsors a deaf students,

club. Merced College in California is one of many colleges and universities

that sponsor a wheelchair basketball team. Wrfght. State Universitrtin Ohio4

sponsors a Wheelchair Sports Club and-Architectural Barriers Committee. While

special campus recreation clubs have not been widely used to date their paten-.

'tial on campus-may be significant, Further, the special campus recr eatiorectub

may serve as a modej for th7,special recreation clubs in the community after °

Observing a bowling activity for.wheelchair bound students One campus

- "coordinator of handicapped student services commdnted/as follows:

"The day,I Observed the,activity,(I saw) a mounting enthusiasm; agrowing confidencein their own abilities, a stunning realizationthat they could take, in some activities of their own'able-bodied

peers.."

No Need for Special Recreation.

One of thd Coordinators'of services for the handicapped whblrespond0 to

the survey said that there is a need for specialNrecreation services to meet

the recreation needs of disabled students. However, two respondents or six

per cent, stated the opposite'opinion as follows:?

"They (the handicapped students) are pffered exactly the same ,

services as all other students and we see no reason at this time(.

for any special program :tin recreation). In view of the smallnumber of disabled students in axtendance at this time and the-fact that we have no evident problems in any of thesd areas, weare satisfied that these students are well provided for throughour regular student programs."

Misdbled students appear to participate accotaIngtheir- .

individual interests and abilitiel when the facilities and programsare accessible."

-Service-Inadequate,

Another coordinator stated:

°I feel recreation for handicapped' students .is very inadequate.

I-think that this will chapgewhen the disabled request recreationalservices."

Eophaiis.on Mainstreaming

One ministratot,has stated:

"A andicap-Oed individual is a complete individual, in spite of hisor her physicol'problem. ye are strengthening this senseof self bycreatingan accessible and usable envrionment. Our emphasis is on,mainstreaming--'to.minitize the special treatment, Separatist atti-tudes and special considerations."

Last Area to,gePeime Attention'

One campus coordinator of disabled student services reported the following:

"Adapted recreation and physical educational activities have not .

long been available to disable udents and most have traditionallybeen eicempted from 'Physical edu . .n requitjents. Because ofthis, participation ih recreatio and physical education activitiesis a new concept for most, and they have not personally consideredits possibility or feasibility Since handicapped students Havenot widely used. the services available or sought additional oftes?this has been one of the last areas to receive attention at ourpchool."

Students Mat BeTAssertive

Another coordinator statesthe following:

"Disabled sttglents must assume an assertive role in fostering the

development of recreation programs and recreation activities."

For the Future

Regarding the future a campus coordinator for handicapped students said:

"colleges and UhiVersities..need to take a more active stancein publicizing the availability of'recreation programs. We also

.need .to reaffirm our commitmept to assist ttlose,who are interestedin taking part, inowhateveriky seems feasible to the person with %tsi

a disability: To begqn this vow (if not already begun) iy.r impor-

tant for the future,'a future which will find oontinuall inereasingLumbers of disabled persons enrolled in post-secondary institutions."

Visual Impairment Should Be No Barrier

Inrechiation peopie'should do what they mirk to do. Disability should

be no barrier. Non-disabled people assume that blind should not or will not

want to go to the movies, to ski., to play golf, to paint or to do a hundred

other activities that seem highly cloilelated with, the ability, to see. How-

ever, blind do attend moviti,, do°ski, do play golf, dd paint and do a hundred

things where in one wax.or ano

the visual'impairment. It sho

et a creative adaptation is made to or -for

d be'noted that visual impairment is not an

absolute single condition. The degree of visual impairment varies as much as

height.or body contours and this is taken into account in adaptation.

Physical Impairment Requires Adaptation

Adopting,fie attitudes of 40, 50 and 100 years ago; it is reasonable to, . -

. presume that people'who ate physically impaired would not want to play basket-

ball, to dances, to aide horseback, to raft, to participate in track and field,

or to lift weights. But, in the 1980s it-is general common knowledge that

people who use wheelchairs because of,paraplegia, quadripleg ia and other

disabilities, do each.of these activities, ilp them-well, do'them not only'for..> . . .

their own entertainment,Abut.for'the entertainment and admiration of specta-

tors, as well. What is requirecrin every,case is creative adaptation..1k ,. 4

Current Accessibility - What Status?. . _

The information available at the present time suggest only thecurrent,

status of accessibility to recreation related facilities, It is reasonable

to conclude that most recreation facilities in most postsecondary institu-

tions in the United States are not accessible to .many categories of disabled%Mt 6

students, facultirl, staff, parents, guests.and alumni. The key questi9n is .

...what progress is'being made month by month and year by year in increasing

accessibility io physically impaired:visually impalred and hearing impaired?"

University of Georgia provides peer counseling thrbugh a "buddy system". (

?or new handicapped students./'

University of Houston's rationale fo its specill recreation program is

as follows:4

"Rtcreaiion is.a need for all individuals. Orie should not bebarred ftom participation in recreation programs because of,his/her disability."

For swimming, bowling and game nights the Uhiveriity.program offers adapt-.

ive equipment, special lessons as needed and partners or volunteers as needed, '

.especially for the severely impaired. For arts and crafts, a "recreational4

assistant goei tp the student's home to assist in any project that they desire.

This is donetbecauseof the lack of accessible transportation to campus.

Wright State University, Ohio, provides opportunities for oompetitiVe

Palh Games apd Wheelchair Basketball. Also,"160 provides mini-workshops on

'leisure-time activitieS, self-dense; amputee skiing, blind skiing, tennis,

dance, equipment and community resources.

"Full Access"

Physical access is-simply the first major barrier to be removed. "Physical

. access" relates directly to the needs of students with physical impairmqnts.

' "Pull access" addresses the need for access not just to buildings, but also

access to.programsland services. Full access also meansconfronting negative

attitudes toward disability and people who are disabled.,.Pull access also

means providing access ntt just for physically handicapped students, but also

to students who ire_hearing impaired, visually impaired, severely impaired or

. who have other health problems. No one act or praject,no single event or

activity can or sill provide full. access, Zroviding access_ will require

.a constant, continuing, year -by -year incremental effort during the next decade,

du ing the next quarter century. It will require OUT entire society's commit-,

men and patience.

Recreation Education for Impaired Students

- ImPaired people lof.the l984's and beyond, whether child, youth, adult or

aged, must.be able to advocate their own recreation heeds, interests, desires

and aspirations. Further, impaired people in the 1980's and beyond, must be

skilledin recreation consumerism, i.e., be able to make qualitative and

- quantitative judgements on programs, services; facilities; personnel' and pro-

ducts. The potential exists for disabled students on'campuses toddy to obtaint

.

xhe'advocacy and consumerism skills to make an appreciable impact on theirle e )pwa

comiunities tomorrow. "RecreatiOfpdhcation". is a primary means of providing

the needed recreation consumer and recreation advocate skills. Recreation

education can take the.Eorm of classes, of .individual recreation compWing,

. group recreation counseling and field practice in recreation consumerism/

advocacy.

.10 Points to Consider

4 r ea".

There are 10 areas that should:be considered by any individual, unit of

group interested in the recreation fuifillment of impaired. college students..

. .

1. The needs of hearing, physicalryjna visually 001red stu ents (as

well as' faculty, itaffi'alumni and guests) should be addr ssed

through representation of impaired individuals on recreation (aits,

entertainelent; recreation, theater) boards, committees and, councils.

2. Physical access should be provided to ecreation facilities (art.

museums, concert halls,. field houses, jymnasid,'recreation centers,

stadiums, etc.) for hearing, physically and visually impair ed.

3.,Recreation programs and service's provided to non-impaired-should be

provided to hearing, physically and visually impairedon an equitable .

basis either through integration into regular activities, adaptation

.or activities and special activities.

4. Recreation skills Courses should be-provided ,to,hearing, physically0

Id visual/1y impaire tudents through integration into regular classes,.$

through inditidualized classes. or through*special classes'for 'impaired_

students. -.

,

8. Recreation counseling should be pro%ded on an individual apd_small

group basis to hearing; physically and visually impaired students,

toward the goal of achieving a meaningful and satisfying.tecreation

lifestyle during college and preparation' for .recreation fulfillment

of Recrel.y.Oncounselini should deal with recreation .

,

'ph osophy, recreation skills, recreation resources,and ree'reation

.habits. i

Recreation edfication should be provided on a regular class basis

meeting the needs of larger numbers of impaired students. The goals

, and content parallel 0a4tof:recreation counseling.

A special recreation club,.coittee or adidsory group shiould be

established with the aim.of providing an'organizeeffort in specIal

recreation consumerism and advocacy in behalf of impaired members of

the campus .commenity. The organization should be composed -of hearing,

f.,

physically and visually impaired students as well as non - impaired

students.

8. Special recreatiop perionnel should be provided. as follows:

Full time director (as possible)

b. Part time personnel (as postible)_

c. Volunteers (facUlty,Students: staff, alumni, members of thecommunity)

Further, full time College or university personnel employed in academic,. -

staff and service roles Should be encouraged to give attention to the

needs.of hearing,,p0sically and visually impaired in their regular

jobs:

%

% .

9. Attention to recreatiem (inclpdinethe,arts, spectator sports,etc.)

barriers,, needs and desires shOuld-be.included in the,regular annual

campus "Awareness Day", "Awarkness. Week"; "National Employment of the. -

-2Handicapped Week" etc.

.,

, .

10. There is a basic-need in ill'areas of'recreation (aka, performing arts,. k

.

dance, drama; music; outdoor recreation, sports, social recreation,

travel, volunteerism) to start advocating for the nee4S of people who0

are impaired.' Volunteers, parents and professionals have.simpiy forgot-

ten totsay "what about imcluding%the handicapped in this program."

4,

There is a pervasive heed:to advocate for participation of, bx,'and fOr .

pe4le who are-impaired in one way orwanother. This need can be met.,

This book proposes the approachthat, re-gardless of the present turmoil,. regard-less of tec'hnology and other gocial consid-erations, there is a fundamental inequityin the availability of cultural, recreation-al, and leisure experience that men of good-will abhor. Seeing beyond hostile rhetoric, .

the book seeks to search out the fo tionswithin the American recreation and eisuremovement of a direct concern for t isad-

vantaged, to codify traditional and newconcepts and procedures in recreation andleisure service for the disadvantaged in theform of guidelines to program development -these guidelines appearing at the beginningof each chapter in the book, and tidentifythe most relevant knowledge and experienceon various aspects of recreation and leisureservice for the disadvantaged. The lattertakes the form of related readings whichfollow each setof guidelines-resulting inbasic conceptual-and,procedural information.

'Specific sections focus on philosophical andsociological considerations; the historicalperspective and precendent; contemporaryinterpretations relating to recreation andleisure for the disadvantaged; the organ-)ization and administration of recreationand leisure service for tie disadvantaged;

'programming for the disadvantaged in recrea.
