The Impact of the Americans with Disabilities Act on Adventure Education Programs.

Sugarman, Deb

Journal of Experiential Education, v16 n1 p28-30 May 1993

The Americans with Disabilities Act demands a proactive approach in developing effective and integrated adventure education programs for the disabled. Programs cannot exclude qualified disabled individuals; modified participation is a choice, not a requirement; and staff must work toward removing physical barriers and providing reasonable accommodations for disabled participants.
