Abstract
The purpose of this article is to explore how intergroup contact theory and inclusive recreation curriculum may influence undergraduate students’ perceptions of individuals with disabilities. Attitudinal barriers continue to be a constraint for people with disabilities in regards to community participation. Academic recreation programs have an opportunity to influence college students’ perceptions of individuals with disabilities through the use of inclusive curriculum and community based recreation activities.
