"Most of you who will read this text weren't born when this prose poem was written. You did not witness the pain experienced by families who unwillingly placed their loved ones in institutions for lack of treatment in their communities. You will not know the anguish of parents whose children were prohibited from attending school. Yet among those who faced obstacles were countless individuals whose stories of courage and resilience provided an incubator for this text. The poem selected for the opening page is an artifact of hope, evidence that long before a shift began to occur in the philosophy of treatment by professionals, families were finding their own voices. The disability rights movement has, for the past 50 years, invited, cajoled, encouraged, and demanded that we recognize the positive force inherent in the energy of change, acknowledging the strengths and capabilities of people with disabilities. That change has healed a social blindness and is now yielding fruit. Much more progress is still needed, but what you can sense in the tentative but loving words of Emily Kingsley is the seed of a deep cultural shift. Each person's life is a gift. The journey through it should be a happy one. You are about to read a carefully crafted and lovingly prepared text that can teach you to understand the right way of conceptualizing health related services. Therapeutic recreation, just one of many service disciplines, brings wonderful assets to the table and is the focus of this text. But it is never meant to be seen in isolation, just as leisure is no isolated human need. By the time you work your way through the ideas and strategies offered by the authors and all the sources they have culled for your benefit, I hope you will feel a sense of excitement. You will be continuing the important work of Ms. Kingsley in advocacy and service with the vision of creating inclusive, vibrant communities wherever you work and live. Incidentally, I was happily surprised that she used recreational travel in the analogy about her child. As I read the poem, thoughts of Holland immediately drew me to those romantic windmills and breathtaking natural carpets of colorful tulips. At the same time, we are intellectually aware of the vulnerability of this low country to flooding. We understand its fragility, but we choose to go anyway, to enthusiastically embrace the adventure, to be optimistic and positive. For those of us with family members who struggle daily to remain healthy, there are challenges, no doubt. On many days the air feels heavy with the mist of acute crises, pain, setbacks, and disappointments. But when the clouds part and we get a good view of the lovely world around us, there is no greater thrill than to be transformed by the journey. You will learn that one of the real treasures of that journey lies in the unique joy nurtured by recreation. Through it we deepen the bonds of family, create precious memories, discover our interests, and express our talents. Recreation intrinsically moves the positive to the forefront. It transforms every environment and experience into a new and exciting venue. I am profoundly grateful for the commitment made by the authors to this message and the effort they have made to bring knowledge and understanding to us. Our job now, as students and teachers, is to walk with individuals and families as partners in this transformative journey, recognizing that we will change, too, through the positive experience of that very accompaniment"-- Provided by publisher.

Leisure Education Program Planning by
The most significant change in this edition of Leisure Education Program Planning is the infusion of information gleaned from writings by some of the leaders of the positive psychology movement. These readings provide valuable perspectives and insights about concepts related to leisure and leisure education. The book is organized into five sections. The first section contains six chapters designed to increase understanding of principles related to leisure and leisure education. The second section provides recommendations and research on leisure education, reviewing previous efforts to implement and understand leisure education programs. The third section provides considerations for developing the content (what to teach) of leisure education. The fourth section addresses the process (how to teach) of implementing leisure education programs. The final section of the book contains specific leisure education programs associated with six possible leisure education components (appreciate leisure, be aware of self in leisure, be self-determined in leisure, interact socially, use leisure resources, and make leisure decisions). The author has field-tested and evaluated various components of these leisure education programs.
