Description:

Recreation is not just about leisure; it is a fundamental aspect of human well-being and community cohesion. Inclusivity and accessibility in recreation are vital to ensuring that everyone, regardless of ability, can benefit from the physical, mental, and social advantages that recreation offers. During this session, participants will learn the benefits of having a recreational hobby and hear from three different states about opportunities in their geographical areas of Georgia, New York, and Utah. They will learn how to find their state assistive technology program and how they can try out different assistive technologies that can assist in participation. Promoting accessibility in recreation is not just a matter of convenience; it’s a matter of equity and social justice. An inclusive approach to recreation ensures that everyone has the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of physical activity, social engagement, and personal growth
