Abstract
Indicates that recreational experience may offer the mentally handicapped person much-needed opportunities for personal growth and for social involvement. Barriers in the form of personal and community-imposed limitations exist to thwart such opportunities. A buddy program linking mildly/moderately mentally handicapped individuals with nonhandicapped age peers is described in terms of objectives, recruitment, conditions for participation, and evaluation.
