Inclusion of individuals with disabilities in our
recreation programming is the just and moral thing to
do. It helps to improve the quality of life for everyone.
recreation programming is the just and
moral thing to do. It helps to improve the
quality of life for everyone.
The on-site trainings are a second level of inclusive training being offered to
military recreation personnel by Penn
State University. Since 2007, Penn State
has trained more than 480 recreation
professionals in MCCS and Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) in a program
sponsored by the Department of Defense
called " Inclusive Recreation for Wounded
Warriors. " Recreation professionals from
military bases all over the world visit the
Penn State campus and spend five days
learning about inclusion and disability

issues including first-person perspectives from individuals living with a disability. The trainees work to develop a plan of
action to take back to their military community. The contract for this program was
recently renewed for another three years.
After participating in Penn State's on
campus program, S. Donna Morsi, MCCS
Semper Fit program manager, saw the need
to expand training for more of her staff. " We
are already seeing some changes take
place " Morsi says. " Our staff who attended
the first sessions at Quantico and at Camp
Lejeune are communicating and collaborating on ideas for better inclusion in our
programs. We are committed to providing

world-class customer service that is inclusive to all of our potential participants. "
The United States Census Bureau estimates that approximately one in five
adults in the United States reports having
a disabling condition. By offering inclusive training for staff, recreation agencies
can improve service delivery not only for
wounded warriors but for all individuals
with disabilities in their communities. 
