Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the extent and types of recreational opportunities within the slate of Maine that were available to people with disabilities. The major findings were that people with disabilities participated in recreational opportunities on a limited basis, that the majority of activities offered were stereotypical of people with disabilities and that the majority of activities were integrated into regular recreation programs.
