There are many different options for people with disabilities who want to get involved in social activities, sports, games, clubs, and the arts. Individuals with disabilities can participate in public and private recreation and leisure programs, and these programs are required by law to adapt their activities so individuals with disabilities can participate to the fullest extent possible.
In addition, there are recreation programs that are designed to enhance the social, leisure, cognitive, and motor skills of children and adults with disabilities. These programs are often referred to as therapeutic recreation programs. One example of such programs is the social club, in which youth and adults with disabilities plan, coordinate and participate in group social activities such as field trips, picnics, and concerts. Another type of therapeutic recreation program is adapted sports, including wheelchair basketball, beep baseball for children who are blind, and Challenger Baseball, which pairs children with and without disabilities to play baseball and uses adaptive equipment such as a tee or a lighter baseball. Moreover, there are camps, museums and travel programs that cater to people with disabilities.
Summer day recreation programs are conducted by Alexandria, Arlington and Fairfax Recreation Departments. There is a small enrollment fee for several of these programs. Program information is announced in late spring. Other recreation and enrichment programs are conducted throughout the year by the Recreation Departments in each jurisdiction.
