Synopsis
Excerpt from Access National Parks: A Guide for Handicapped Visitors
The national parks - urban and remote - with their diversity of historic shrines, wilderness, recreation areas, the centers of art dis played and performed, should be fully accessible for the participation, growth and enjoyment of all.
In his address to the first White House Conference on Handicapped Individuals on May 23 of last year, President Carter added a new dimeh sion to his fight for human rights. He said The time for discrimination against the handicapped in the United States is over [the law and regulations] require that when programs are made available to the public, those programs are made available to the handicapped public It is almost inconceivable that these basic rights have been delayed so long. These are not times for thanksgiving, but for a sustained demand and a time to assess other opportunities in the future.
We have been challenged to assess our progress and to discover opportunities for improvement in the future. I pledge the best efforts of the Department of the Interior arid the National Park Service to work toward that goal, and I invite all visitors to the national parks to aid us by sending suggestions for improvements of facilities and programs.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a comprehensive guide to accessibility for handicapped visitors to the National Park System. The author, writing in 1978, acknowledges the important strides made toward making the parks more inclusive. He recognizes that the parks are a national treasure, offering a chance for everyone to experience natural wonders, historical sites, and unique cultural experiences.
