| SPORTS | PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES | LIFESTYLES | LIFESTYLE PROGRAMMES | AUSTRALIA | DOWN SYNDROMESummary: Children, adolescents and adults with Down syndrome have a wide range of interests and although reported trends indicate that their engagement in recreational activity is often sedentary and solitary in nature, other factors apart from the syndrome may account for this. Using a perception of difference perspective, this paper examines certain aspects of their motor development, health and interactions with others which could be viewed as restrictive factors to their ability to participate in active leisure opportunities in the community. Programme examples from Australia are used to illustrate how a perception of difference which facilitates ability rather than disability across community based activities can enable a range of active leisure choices.
