It is important for all of us as parents, educators and advocates for those with disabilities to remember to provide recreational experiences. These experiences not only provide a pleasurable pastime, but also offer experiences that enable individuals with exceptionalities to challenge themselves and accomplish goals. McCarthy Teszler School in Spartanburg, South Carolina, helped students at the School for the Deaf and blind climb a rock wall. Anna Brown a recreation therapist at McCarthy Teszler said the experience “helps students with their confidence”. (GreenvilleOnline.com, Nathaniel Cary) Here in Oregon we have a wonderful facility on Mt. Hood (Kiwanis Camp) that affords children and adults with disabilities the outdoor camping experience. The Camp provides a variety of recreational activities including canoeing, horseback riding, fishing and swimming. These experiences foster self-confidence for the Campers and provide lasting memories and friendships.
This is legal information only, not legal advice!
The above listed information about special education law is for general information only. General legal information is not the same as legal advice -- which requires the application of law to an individual's specific circumstances. Although I believe the information to be accurate and useful, I strongly recommend that you consult a lawyer if you want professional advice regarding your specific legal situation and do not rely solely on the information provided above.
