Fowler, Susan A. Fink, Dale Borman 2015-09-25T19:55:46Z 2015-09-25T19:55:46Z 10000-01-01 1997 1997 The increasing presence of students with disabilities in regular school classrooms during the past decade has received a great deal of attention from researchers, parents, and practitioners. The participation of children with special needs in recreational and youth development arenas, such as sports teams, scouting, and drop-in recreation centers has not been discussed or researched to nearly the same extent. But the lives of youngsters with disabilities do not end when they exit their classrooms. This study brings to the recreation and youth development arenas the same heightened scrutiny that has attended classroom participation by those who once would have been excluded. The study uses methods of qualitative inquiry, including interviews, observations, and the review of documents. It is an in-depth case study of the youth activities in one community, a town of 14,000. The voices of children, parents, volunteer leaders and recreational staff are blended with the author's observations and interpretations. Made available in DSpace on 2015-09-25T19:55:46Z (GMT).
