Description
Introduction Increasing academic knowledge of theoretical concepts related to leisure and physical disabilities is an important part of most leisure studies' and therapeutic recreation curricula. Developing experiences that apply the theoretical concepts in creative and experiential ways foster increased understanding that might not otherwise take place. Physical disability simulation exercises, as one example, provide students with an opportunity to acquire insight into using a wheelchair as one's main means of mobility. While it is not possible for students to gain a complete understanding of what it is like to permanently utilize a wheelchair for mobility, the partial insights and increased awareness make this exercise a valuable teaching tool.
