Older Adults With Developmental Disabilities and Leisure gives you specific guidelines for establishing fitness programs as well as ideas for offering clients goals and incentives that will evoke and maintain their enthusiasm to participate. Using a proven model, the Arts/Fitness Quality of Life Activities Program, the authors show how careful planning and sequencing can produce successful results, such as peer interaction, flexible thinking, self-expression, and improved mental health. As you learn about the key factors for programming for this group of clients, you will also learn about:
- the demographics of this population
- leisure education
- training and cross-training with aging specialists and mental retardation staff
- community integration and for whom it is appropriate
- inactivity in later life and the complications it causes
- life satisfaction and leisure participation
- differences in physical and cognitive functioning among this population
- consumer satisfaction among older adults with developmental disabilities
It is never too late to introduce leisure activities into the lives of those with developmental disabilities. With encouragement and careful guidance, you can lead your elders/clients into a more active and healthy life. Use Older Adults With Developmental Disabilities and Leisure as a guide to find activities and exercise programs that are appropriate, fun, and worthwhile!
