Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Poster Description
Recreation is critical to the wellbeing of individuals with physical and mental disabilities. By bringing people together through the act of play participants are given opportunities which enhance their overall fundamental development. The social stigma and physical barriers persons with disabilities endure from society can be addressed and overcome through the power of play. Research shows the ability to play goes far beyond the simple act of playing and is intrinsic in value to all people. By adapting various sports and activities to accommodate individuals with disabilities more emphasis has been placed on exploring activities and sports once better suited for others. This promotes inclusion, emotional stability, physical health benefits, and successful social development. Participants in adaptive sports programs witness teamwork, see an increase of self-esteem, and overall improved quality of life. Awareness to bring adaptive sports programs and facilities to Kentucky is a necessity. Our research concluded federal legislation and various associations show marked improvement in providing accessibility to adaptive equipment in public venues throughout Kentucky. However, the state is still behind nationally in adaptive recreation. Steps must be taken to both improve the reason Kentucky lags in this area and address the necessary changes to prevent this from occurring in the future.
