Leisure Inventory Surveys are the first step to leisure education by helping an individual develop an ethic, promote self-awareness, and explore opportunities that ultimately lead to designing opportunities for successful leisure engagement (Chapter 13, pages 261 – 266).
Take the Leisure Inventory Survey then answer 4 of the following questions:
- How does this Leisure Inventory Survey help you develop an ethic (pages 261-262)?
- How does this Leisure Inventory Survey help you become self-aware in leisure and why is this important (pages 262-263)?
- What did you learn about yourself based on your completed interest checklist (i.e., do you prefer a specific category of leisure, do you lack a significant degree of interest in leisure activities, do you prefer social activities or activities you do alone)?
- How could this Leisure Inventory Survey help you explore leisure opportunities (pages 263-264)? Select one activity of future interest, what resources and knowledge would you need to access and participate in this activity?
- Select 1 leisure activity that you had a strong degree of interest. If an individual with a disability wished to participate in this activity, how could you, as a leisure service provider, assist him/her in acquiring knowledge, gaining the skills, and managing challenges so they could be involved in this activity (pages 264-266).
