Dear Colleague:

1847

The project, "National Institute on Models for Community BasedRecreation for Handicapped Children and Youth," is entering itssecond year. During the first year, a survey and identificaion ofexisting programs was undertaken, as well as the convening of theNational Institute at the University of Iowa.

The National Institute, held July 7-9, endeavored to collect,share, and compile information about, and techniques in, the operationof the most feasiblevand effective methods of community action modelsfor recreation service to the disabled.

As an outgrowth of these efforts, training materials are beingdeveloped and plans_are being made for the replication of the NationalInstitute in all regions of the United States.

A number of successful models were identified and have transmitteddata to the project staff with permission for us to distribute theinformation.

Enclosed are duplications of the responses from eighteen of theidentified models. Additional training materials will be distributedbased upon completion of response forms.

Sin -ely,

Ohn A. Nesbitt, Project Director

Efforts and success in eliminating any of the above Problems or other spec'problems.

There is only one indoor pool that is wheelchair accessible. This severelylimits certain flexibility in our program. When the water and air temperaturewas too low for the participants, we were left ne other Possibilities as far asa pool was concerned. FI:cilities for other programs tend not to be as specializedas a pool and we have not had any problems.

The public transportation in Berkeley is not wheelchair accessible (with theexception of the Bay Area Rapid Transit which has limited service and does notoperate at night). The Center for Independent. Living is a services and advocacycenter for the disabled. They run an accessible transportation service. Someparticipants use C1L's night time service (dial-a-ride). We also contract withthem for the use of the unused vans in the evenings to transport persons to ourprogram. With the support of CIL we are able to alleviate the problem of acces-sible transportation.

However, we feel that we have only partially solved this problem. Limitedaccessible public transportation to BORP programs 'is 'the major reason participantsare unable to become involved with the programs we offer.

There are people in Oakland and those who are odtside of the CIL target areathat cannot-get to our programs. All of our activitefree and transportationand attendant care is offered. There are seven perOhscOn-staff, with only oneof these being full time. With the exception of the.swim PrOgram all classes aretaught by volunteers and we utilize a core of about 30 volunteers to provide as-sistance and attendant care at all of our programs. In regard to financial sup-port we are operating on a very small budget. The persons who have been thehardest disabledto locate have been those shut-in their homee. They often arcnot in contact with the same resOurces that BORP is.

There are basically no commtinity attitudinal barriers._ However, it mustbe made clearthat this program Was initiated by members of Berkeley's disabledcommunity - whereas the,city itself did not take direct responsibility.
