for people with
disabilities.
Inclusion Conference
May 29, 2015
Lisa Hughes
About me…..
• Recreation Therapist
• Part time faculty at Fleming College
• Worked in many different settings
• Junior Ranger
• Camp Courageous of Iowa
Adventure Experience
Paradigm
• Exploration and Experimentation
• Risk low, competence high
• Adventure
• Competence only slightly higher than risk
• Peak Adventure
• Competence = risk
• Misadventure
• Risk slightly higher than competence
• Devastation and disaster
• Competence is low and risk is high
Key Concepts
• Adventure engages the whole person
• Adventure happens in novel settings
• Risks Hazards
• Activities that have uncertain outcomes
• Cooperative Environment
• Unique problem solving
• Feelings of accomplishment
• Processing the experience
• Self-perception
• We build this from our experiences, what we do
we believe
• Adventures- deemphasizes the need for language
skills, more ‘lived experience’.
• Self-efficacy
• One’s belief they are capable of success, view
themselves in a positive way, increases
motivation
• Important for generalizations- switching the ‘I
can’t do that’ to ‘I can’

and apply on to their life on their own
• Analogous Transference
Facilitator will use debriefing and
questions to help participants apply to
their life
• Structured
Before and after the activities,
Facilitator sets the scene and learning

How to provide risk
• Identify hazards (setting, equipment)
• Allow people to try, try and try again
• Adaptions (allow person to find their own)
• Skill development is a continuum
• Start small
• Finish BIG
Interesting Reading
• Talking about practice: Adventurous play—
Developing a culture of risky play (NQS PLP e-
Newsletter No.58 2013)
• Universal Adventure Programming: Opening Our
Programs to People With Physical Disabilities
(Journal of Leisurability, Volume 22 Number 2 Spring
1995)

Notas del editor

  1. Eventually in management Junior Ranger- developed a comfort level with outdoors, challenges Camp Courageous- timing is everything, I was young, I hadn’t had many experiences to make me think otherwise, I hadn’t had kids yet
  2. 1:50 - 5:35 Easter seals Novel setting Use adventure as Skill development How do I know if I don’t try Mitigate risk- lifejacket, instructors around Heartbreaking for adults….. Watching failure, she could only help herself People around who were willing to let her try again and again….. If someone had intervened, protected her
  3. Revisiting the paradigm, in your current role- think about
