Implementing Recreation and Leisure
Opportunities for Infants and Toddlers with Disabilities
Edited by Michael Bender and Carol Ann Baglin
The purpose of this book is to enhance and expand both the perception of
recreation and leisure opportunities for young children. For the young child
with a disability, the options for leisure activities exist in everyday
life, at home, in day care, and within the community. These young children
with developmental disabilities benefit from learning how to utilize leisure
activities and experiences as a prelude to maximizing their non-school
hours. This is a great book for parents and teachers who want outdoor
recreation and sports programs in the community to begin to recognize the
existence of young children with disabilities and their families.
