The conceptual interpretation of disability, together with the presentation of Hungarian legal and social policy frameworks, highlights that the contemporary approach no longer regards persons with disabilities as passive recipients of care, but as active, capable, and developable individuals. Special attention is given to the importance of equal opportunities, integration, and inclusion, as well as to the responsibility of the recreation professional in creating a differentiated, person-centred, and supportive developmental environment. The chapter discusses in detail the recreational characteristics of persons with intellectual disabilities, physical disabilities, hearing impairments, visual impairments, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. It demonstrates that, in the case of these target groups, physical recreation not only improves physical condition, but also plays a significant role in the development of social skills, self-confidence, attention, communication, cognitive functions, and psychological alance. Through practical examples, the chapter presents those forms of movement and recreational opportunities that can be effectively applied in adapted settings, with particular attention to swimming, horse riding, martial arts, athletics, tennis, boccia, Pilates, goalball, as well as various aquatic and outdoor activities. The central message of the chapter is that, for persons with disabilities, recreation represents not only a means of health maintenance, but also a space for experiencing dignity, enjoyment, achievement, and social connectedness. Properly selected recreational activities may contribute to the improvement of functions, the strengthening of existing abilities, and the possibility of living a more active, autonomous, and fulfilling life. Accordingly, the chapter interprets recreation within a complex, human-centred, and inclusive framework, in which the sensitivity, competence, and responsibility of the professional are of decisive importance.
