The above portion of your assignment will be uploaded to the Accessibility Assignment: Checklist, Map, Photos, Paper, & Letter (Journal)
Instructions for the Accessibility Paper and Letter: (17 points)
Note: For parts b and c (barriers and recommendations to improve upon the barrier), you will need to indicate where in the ADA Checklist for Existing Facilities or Recreational Checklist (i.e. the standard # in the checklist) the barrier/recommendation is discussed.
You must organize your paper using the following headings a-d (APA style):
- Advantages:(3 points)Describe those aspects from your survey of the recreation setting (physical), that have been made accessible and would provide opportunities for inclusive recreation participation. Make sure to include the summary of the positive/accessible areas from each priority of your completed ADA Checklist for Existing Facilities and Recreational Checklist.
- Barriers: (4 points)Describe the physical and programmatic barriers that are present that would inhibit or limit participation by people with disabilities. Identify people with disabilities who may be influenced by these barriers, and how they would be influenced. Make sure to include the summary of the inaccessible areas and the Standard # in that area from each priority of your completed ADA Checklist for Existing Facilities or Recreational Checklist.
- Accessibility Recommendations: (4 points)Provide a list of specific recommendations for how the agency could improve accessibility based on the barriers you found. Again, using the Standard #, designate which of your recommendations should be implemented to be in compliance with the law. Also, indicate which of your recommendations, although not legally required, would be in keeping with the spirit of the law, and would reflect a general commitment to inclusive recreation participation.
- Grammar: (1.5 points)
- APA Format: (1.5 points)
Professional Letter to Facility Manager: (3 points)
- Each student must also write a professional letter (a few paragraphs) to the manager/person in charge of the facility. The purpose of the letter is to thank him/her for assisting you with this learning opportunity. Also, provide and accentuate the positive outcomes that you found as a result of completing the checklist and provide a brief summary of what you found that could be changed. This will be turned in as the last page of your paper after your reference list and is NOT part of your page limit. Do NOT send the letter to the facility. After I grade and provide feedback on your project, you can make changes to the letter and send it to the facility manager if you feel comfortable doing so. Please refer to the following resource in formatting your professional letter: Sample Letters (Links to an external site.)
