More Book Details

Description of the Book:

The second volume of guidelines on choosing avocational activities for handicapped persons is presented. (For first volume, see EC 042 138.) Activity descriptions are made for 88 collection activities, 84 craft activities, 83 art and music activities, 88 educational, entertainment, and cultural activities, 98 volunteer activities, and 88 organizational activities. Information concerning avocational activities is presented in two forms. First, a check list is provided and includes information such as a listing of environmental factors, social psychological factors associated with the activity, possible cost of equipment and needed supplies to pursue the activity, an estimate on whether the activity is within the physical and/or mental capacity of an individual with a specified impairment, references, and an estimate of the range of energy expenditure. A brief narrative description then follows the check list. The narrative contains a general description of the kind of activity involved and its relationship to various impairments.

No attempt is made to explain activity rules and regulations. The Dewey Decimal and Library of Congress code numbers are presented at the beginning of each narrative. (For the quick find list, see EC 042 140.) (CB
