Tools for Play
is a multimedia program developed for the Opening Session of the Paralympic
Congress in Atlanta, August 1996. It includes more than 300 images of people
with various disabilities involved in sport, recreation, and leisure
activities. It was developed with the support of the Department of Veterans
Affairs Rehabilitation R&D Service and Beneficial Designs, Inc. This
site is a companion to the multimedia program. It is intended to provide
information for contacting individuals and organizations that support various
kinds of recreation and leisure activities. It also includes a visual highlight
of the multi-image program and a list of its creators and contributors, as well
as information on where to order the video of
the program.
