Recreational Adaptations
Recreational adaptations are structural adaptations that promote participation in cultural events and leisure time activities for individuals with disabilities. Recreational devices may include guide rails in bowling alleys for people who are blind, special prosthetic devices that assist individuals to participate in sports, and audio descriptions for movie, sporting, and cultural events. Through assistive technology, adaptive toys and games provide children with disabilities opportunities to play with toys, games, and other children as well as develop cognitive skills. Examples of adaptive toys and games are toys that have switches and games with large print or Braille.
