Best Practice of Inclusive Services: The Value of Inclusion
Since Congress passed the Americans with Disabilities Act in 1990 (Public Law 101-336), recreation providers have made structural modifications to accommodate people with disabilities in various programs. However, it has long been evident that more than structural modifications would be needed in order for individuals with disabilities to be fully included into programs and have the same opportunities for success as individuals without disabilities. Inclusion is more than allowing people with and without disabilities to participate in the same activity.
