Enhancing Respite in Recreation Settings was developed by the Parasport & Recreation for Persons with a Disability Initiative to support families, caregivers, and recreation providers in creating inclusive and meaningful recreation and sport opportunities for individuals with disabilities. The resource is designed to strengthen the understanding and role of respite care within recreation settings. By offering safe, engaging, and supportive environments that not only benefit participants but also provide caregivers with valuable time to rest and recharge. By sharing best practices, strategies, and tools, this resource empowers communities to enhance the quality and accessibility of respite care within recreation.
