OUTDOOR INCLUSIVITY TRAINING
Break Down Barriers!
Outdoor Explorations has been a leader in the disability community for over 15 years and has provided interactive Outdoor Inclusivity Trainings for organizations throughout New England. OE’s training helps to make an organization’s existing programs more inclusive and welcoming to
people with developmental, social/emotional, physical, and/or sensory disabilities. Our training module can be applied to a variety of outdoor programs found at schools,
universities, outfitters, non-profit organizations, community programs, and camps. A typical training includes an interactive session on including people with and without disabilities in adventure and recreational programs. We teach the specific skills to adapt your programs through
hands-on activities. Sessions emphasize the importance of focusing on people’s capabilities and not their limitations. Professionals will come away from the training with increased confidence and flexibility, knowing how to break down barriers to recreation.
Outdoor Inclusivity Training Includes:
• The skills and adaptations needed to include all people in adventure and recreational programming
• “Person First” and “Abilities First” points of view and language
• Experienced facilitators skilled in adaptation techniques for recreational programs
WILDWORKS
Make a Difference in Your Community
A unique opportunity OE offers is our WildWorks community service days. OE partners with a corporate sponsor and community volunteers to beautify and make outdoor areas
more accessible. In the past we have worked with the Department of Conservation and Recreation, Bear Brook State Park and Hale Reservation. In addition to the community service work that takes place, the corporate volunteers receive OE’s signature Inclusivity Training.
If your company is interested in sponsoring a WildWorks community service day please contact us so that we can share our current project offerings with you. We look forward to working together to make a more inclusive environment.
