Abstract
  • This project was developed for the recreation department at Damar Services, a residential school facility for children with developmental and behavioral challenges. The project was designed to provide employee education regarding best practices for working with students with disabilities, how to identify sensory challenges and implement sensory regulation techniques, and how to plan for and engage students with disabilities into meaningful play and leisure occupations. The information in the employee education materials was modeled by the student, and education modules were compiled to be used as training materials for future employees of the recreation department. The results of the project revealed that the occupational concepts applied during the recreation classes increased student engagement and participation in physical activities. The education materials created will be implemented into future Damar recreation employee orientation in order to promote staff engagement and knowledge regarding meaningfully engaging students during recreation classes.
