| Abstract | Integrated adventure programs are those in which persons with and without disabilities participate together in planned adventure activities. A study sought to identify the leadership competencies necessary for leaders of integrated outdoor adventure programs and to measure the effectiveness of a staff training addressing one of these competencies. A list of integrated program leadership competencies was developed through a review of the literature, focus groups, and observation of leaders during a Wilderness Inquiry 5-day winter dogsled trip in northern Minnesota. A preliminary set of competencies was submitted to an expert panel, who revised and validated the competencies, resulting in a set of five primary competencies encompassing 38 secondary competencies. One of the primary competencies identified, the "ability to apply integration strategies to all levels of ability and in varied situations," was selected as the focus of a 9-day training for new staff at Wilderness Inquiry. During the training, integration strategies were taught using lecture, scenario, and modeling methods. A 3-day field component was included. A test consisting of eight problem scenarios a leader could expect to encounter on an integrated adventure trip was administered before and after training to a total of 59 new staff in two training sessions. In each session, participant scores improved significantly over the training period. (Contains 26 references) (SV) |
