Helping Individuals with Severe Disabilities Find Leisure Activities

but they may be especially important for individuals with severe disabilities. Many of these individuals have an abundance of free time, which is, unfortunately, often used inappropriately. For example, they may engage in stereotypic behaviors such as body rocking or hand flapping or may use materials inappropriately (e.g., mouthing toys) . Learning to participate appropriately in recreational activities may decrease these problem behaviors (Carr, Robinson, Taylor, & Carlson, 1990). Moon and Bunker (1987) summarized research supporting the importance of recreational activities and concluded that (a) appropriate use of free time may prevent institutionalization and (b) there is a positive relationship between instruction in recreational activities and improvements in other skills.
