Most people cannot wait for down time on the weekend, time to do whatever they think is fun… some like to play basketball with friends, or going for a swim, others enjoy reading or watching a movie… all of these activities are recreation.

Recreation has many benefits and everyone should incorporate some favorite activity, including persons with disabilities! Recreation can increase self-esteem and may relieve stress and anxiety. See the link below for more added benefits:

The young adults at Arizona Developmental Services have the opportunity every day to schedule their choice of recreation. Within their individualized schedules for learning life skills, time is always allocated for recreation to strengthen social skills and life enjoyment!
