Abstract

To discover why blind students do not participate in vigorous physical recreation with sighted peers, a study of blind adults’ attitudes toward and involvement in past and present physical activities was undertaken. Analysis of tape-recorded responses to a 22-question interview showed that most respondents had positive attitudes toward physical education and recreation, but felt that little encouragement had been offered them in this area. Leisure education and counseling for blind persons and recreation personnel can improve physical recreation and education opportunities for blind persons.
