Who would be the target population for adaptive recreation programming?

  1. Individuals without disabilities

  2. Individuals with physical or cognitive disabilities

  3. Young adults seeking job skills

  4. Adults interested in financial planning

The correct answer is: Individuals with physical or cognitive disabilities

The target population for adaptive recreation programming specifically focuses on individuals with physical or cognitive disabilities. Adaptive recreation aims to provide inclusive recreational opportunities that accommodate the unique needs and abilities of these individuals. This ensures that everyone has access to recreational activities that enhance their physical, social, and emotional well-being. Adaptive recreation programs are designed to adapt traditional recreation activities to make them accessible, ensuring individuals with disabilities can participate fully. These programs also foster social integration, promote physical health, and encourage skill development, which can greatly enhance the quality of life for participants. The other options do not align with the focus of adaptive recreation programming. Individuals without disabilities typically do not require adaptations to engage in recreational activities. Young adults seeking job skills or adults interested in financial planning are not the primary focus of adaptive recreation, as these areas pertain more to vocational training and educational programs rather than recreational activities tailored to those with disabilities.
