Approximately 4.3 million school-aged children in the United States have disabilities. These disabilities encompass conditions that have traditionally hindered children from fully participating in many activities. It is this group that is the focus of this 4-H publication.
The purpose of this guide is to provide 4-H leaders and volunteers with information to assist them in their efforts to assimilate "all" youth into the various programs offered by 4-H. It contains information on the rights of children with disabilities, the nature of disabling conditions, ideas for recruitment, project modifications and other suggestions for working with 4-H members with disabilities. It is hoped that this publication along with related training will increase the number of youth with disabilities who participate in 4-H programs and increase the sensitivity of all 4-H members and 4-H volunteer leaders to the unique needs of persons with disabilities and the contribution they can make when provided the opportunity.
