Children with disabilities have limited access to leisure and recreation activities. This study explored parental perspectives of inclusion and the impact of an adaptive dance program on their children. Interviews and a focus group were conducted. Results indicated that parents define inclusion as acceptance and expressed gratitude for the benefits and funding of the program. Findings highlight the need for more inclusive recreation and evidence to procure funding for sustainable programming.
