Abstract: For over a dozen years, recreation
professionals have been exploring
new ways to include people with
disabilities in community recreation
settings. Yet, in many towns,
cities and rural areas across the country,
the impetus for inclusion continues to
originate from parents of children with
disabilities who must "knock on doors" in
an effort to acquire access for their children.
The isolation and frustration that
many parents feel when advocating for
inclusive services is evident in the stories
they tell of prejudice and of the denial of
their children's right to participation.
