Leisure/Recreation Curriculum for Secondary Aged Students with Disabilities. Project C.R.E.O.L.E. Community Recreation Education on Leisure Education.
Jewish Community Centers of Greater Philadelphia, PA. David G. Neuman Senior Center.
Project CREOLE (Community Recreation Education on Leisure Education) was designed to develop and implement a functional leisure/recreation training program as an integral aspect of special education services, and to promote the integration of individuals with handicaps into the programs of existing community recreation agencies. The use of systematic instructional technology, an increase in social interactions with nonhandicapped persons, active parent involvement, and transitional planning with community recreation agencies are the major aims of the project. The users of the curriculum are encouraged to teach the skill sequences in natural community settings so as to increase the likelihood of generalization, as well as the opportunity for actual community participation. The activities of the curriculum plan are organized into four units: (1) sports and fitness; (2) outdoor education; (3) physical recreation; and (4) games and creative arts. Each of the activities includes a goal statement, assessments, lead-up strategies, and suggested objectives for full and partial participation. Entry/Exit checklists of specific skills to be mastered, scored by levels of teacher assistance needed, are included in the curriculum. (JD)
