| An individual has the right to access buildings and attend recreation programs. This level of inclusion was the focus of the architectural barriers act of 1968, which mandated that all buildings receive federal funding to be made architecturally accessible to people with disabilities. | An individual should have the opportunity to be successful within a given environment. This level of inclusion was mandated by the ADA and requires that recreation programs provide accommodations for people with disabilities to give them the same enjoyment and success as those without disabilities. | One's ability to participate in positive interactions with peers through making friendships during recreation activities is internally motivated and it is only by embracing inclusion as a value that this level can be achieved. Social inclusion can not be mandated. |
Friendships are developed and enhanced through inclusion.
