Enhancing the Inclusive Recreation Experiences of Individuals of All Abilities at Various Recreational Therapy Settings using Yut-Nori (.1 CEUs)

International migration, adding to the U.S. population, is projected to continue to grow with greater diversity. These trends signify that recreational therapists at various settings should feel competent in expanding and providing diverse recreation experiences to clients and residents of all ages with and without special needs using multicultural games. Yut-Nori, which is a Korean traditional board game, will be used as an example of multicultural games adaptive to provide inclusive recreation experiences. The presenters will: introduce basic components of the inclusive recreation programs (e.g., purpose, participants, and activities to create any adaptations for participation for all), instruct the understanding of activity analysis with several domains (esp., skills needed for an activity), discuss results of Yut-Nori activity analysis found by the presenters, instruct how to play the Yut-Nori, provide virtual participants the opportunity to play the game, discuss results of Yut-Nori activity analysis completed by virtual participants, discuss adaptation areas for an activity for clients with special needs (e.g., bowling for clients with SCI), discuss inclusive recreation program components, esp., adaptation areas for activities, including Yut-Nori, for various individuals with special needs, and discuss potential health and well-being outcomes (e.g., following rules, feeling a sense of belonging and inclusion, emotional control) among all Yut-Nori participants.
