Lifelong Leisure Skills And Lifestyles For Persons With Developmental Disabilities books, "Although recreation seems like a natural part of life, it actually involves a range of skills that need to be learned, refines, and generalized in order for a person to enjoy a variety of activities. This progressive resource, based on the critically acclaimed "Longitudinal leisure skills for severely handicapped learners : the Ho'onanea curriculum component" (Wuerch & Voeltz, 1982), offers a wealth of practical strategies--all extensively field tested and data based--for helping individuals with developmental disabilities learn leisure skills. The heart of this creative book lies in its step-by-step descriptions of 10 popular activities, including aerobics, pottery, and hand-held video games. Using sample charts, reproducible forms, simple diagrams, and concise explanations, this practical resource shows parents, recreation professionals, teachers, and leisure educators how to : set instructional objectives ; select age-appropriate activities ; promote skills acquisition and generalization ; incorporate leisure education into ongoing activities ; adapt activities to fit varying cognitive, social, and physical abilities ; encourage independent choice-making ; involve families in the development of leisure skills ; promote community recreation participation."
