This needs assessment survey attempted to determine if community recreation programs, including school-based and college-based programs, are meeting the needs of citizens with disabilities living on the Northern Mariana Islands. The survey polled 35 people with disabilities about the effectiveness of community recreation programs and services and asked 26 recreation service providers to rate their effectiveness in supplying recreation services to this population. Introductory information summarizes island characteristics and demography. Sections of the report then list participating agencies and recreation entities; compare results of the two surveys; describe an agency evaluation process; present on-site survey results for the three large islands of Rota, Tinian, and Saipan by individual agency; and present recommendations for the islands as a whole and for each of the three islands individually. Recommendations include the provision of better public information by agencies offering recreational programs, better accommodation to the needs of people with disabilities, and help with transportation and financial assistance. Also encouraged is creation of a program where local inhabitants would receive funds for postsecondary education in the areas of nursing, recreation, speech pathology, occupational therapy, physical therapy, and teacher certification. Extensive appendices include project letters, survey forms, and detailed results. Also included are the questionnaires used in the survey. (DB)
