LEAD: Leisure Education Awareness and Discovery | Page 3
What is Leisure Education?
Students with special needs require a structured introduction to
leisure experiences. Leisure Education provides leisure awareness for
students during the school day through a cooperative effort between
special education staff and NSSRA program staff. This program offers
opportunities for students to learn new recreation skills in a structured
environment.
Leisure Education prepares students to participate in a variety of leisure
activities, empowering students to view their abilities positively.
