Discuss how inclusion, adaptations, and equality are related.
Inclusion is equal access and opportunity to participate.
Adapted programs = programs for individuals w identifiable disabilities provided within a traditional setting. Designed to meet the learning outcomes of a prescribed curriculum. Provide adaptations so the individual can participate in the program.
Discuss how integration, modification and equity are related.
Integration VS inclusion - integration: still within the larger circle, but in their own circle
Modified programs = dont need to happen in a traditional setting. Changing program elements to meet the needs of the participant. Outcomes are not based on prescribed curriculum. Participant directed outcomes.

How is population diversity planning different from a needs assessment?
STEP model - space, task, equipment, people
Diversity planning is inclusive and equal - welcomes and plans for a diverse audience. Understanding and dismantling the barriers.
Needs assessment is integrative and equitable.
Why is Perceived Professional Competency the number one barrier and discuss how it relates to the barriers that affect leisure access opportunities?
Professional competency is a barrier because you need a professional diagnosis to take part in things
How do the 2 participant assessments contribute to leisure access opportunities?
authentic (done by anyone whos trained), participant centered,
Formal (done by professionals). Two types of formal; divisioning (intellectual assessment) and classification (physical assessment). Establishes a level of ability and level of functionality based on standards. Results in legal obligation - govt financial and medical support.
Discuss the 3 concepts of inclusion, the 3 approaches to facilitate social inclusion, and the 3 extrinsic strategies for inclusive recreation?
Physical, functional and social inclusion.
- Physical; participating in all activities with others in the same space, w the same objectives, and same assessments. Persons right to access is recognized and assured.
- Functional: individuals ability to function within a given environment. The mandate to provide accommodation for PWD to give them the same enjoyment and success as PWOD. professionals must have adequate knowledge and resources to adapt activities appropriately.
- Social: only after physical and functional inclusions are med can social be achieved. Social cant be mandated like physical/functional.
3 approaches to facilitation:
- Integration into existing recreation program approach
- Reverse mainstreaming approach - incr interaction between people with varying abilities
- Zero exclusive approach - non target based programming, consider varying abilities, does not require extensive training and volunteers.
3 Extrinsic Strategies for Inclusive recreation
1. Sociometry
2. Circle of friend
3. Cooperative peer championships`
How will the Accessible Canada Act help provide leisure opportunities for PWDs?

Basic and extended health care services covered under CHA. all insured residents must be entitled to the same health services. Government servies: info on employment, accessibility and education, health, income supports and tax benefits.
Identify and define the 7 Principles of Universal Design. (how do they contribute to leisure opps)
Principles:
I. Equitable use - design is useful and marketable to people with diverse abilities
II. flexibility in use - design accommodates a wide range of individual preferences and abilities
III. simple and intuitive use - design is easy to understand, regardless of the user’s experience, knowledge, language skills or current concentration level
IV. perceptible information - design communicates necessary information effectively to the user, regardless of ambient conditions or the user’s sensory abilities
V. tolerance for error - design minimizes hazards and the adverse consequences of accidental or unintended actions
VI. low physical effort - design can be used efficiently and comfortably and with a minimum of fatigue
VII. size and space for approach and use - appropriate size and space is provided for approach, reach, manipulation, and use regardless of user’s body size, posture or mobility.
How they contribute: creates accessible spaces for everyone, means that everyone can participate in their community = full citizenship.
Discuss integrated access to leisure opportunities for PWD
Integrated access is based on professional competency. Full access is limited by barriers = obstacles that limit access and prevent all citizens from fully participating in society, unintentional, usually arise because the diversity of citizen’s abilities are not considered from the beginning. It is about giving people of all abilities the opportunity to participate fully in everyday life, and the ability to benefit from all systems, services, products or environments in the community.
Making accessibility a part of the way orgs do their daily business may tap into opportunities to attract more participants, build customer loyalty and improve services. Provide services in a way that allows PWD to access the same products and services in a similar manner, as other community members. Promotes respect for the dignity and independence of everyone.
Integrated access areas: transportation, accessible built environments, communication systems, physical access to buildings, accessible equipment, mobility aids and services
Identify the Disability Models discussed in class
Medical, functional, social, legal rights, WHO, IMAPA
medical model - define, strengths and weaknesses
Disability is a diagnosed condition, functional health issue resulting in a damaged body/mind (bio/psych perspective, deficiencies are physiological or biological). Defines disability in terms of sickness - solves disability in terms of treatment and rehab. Perceived disability in terms of limitation. Does not recognize the role of the environment interaction. “The medical model tries to adapt the individual to society!People are regarded as mentally/physically damaged. Probably medical model if the org just covers one disability, if it has to do w sport is prob WHO model, if it covers more its probably social model - or if it covers a bunch of things.
