The National Consortium for Physical
Education and Recreation for Individuals with Disabilities (NCPERID) was
founded in 1975 by a group of higher education professionals with a
vision for quality personnel preparation, research/demonstration, and
service. Since then, numerous prominent leaders in the academic
disciplines of Adapted Physical Education/Activity and Therapeutic
Recreation have served as president of the Consortium. Many of these
past presidents are authors of the scholarly textbooks and significant
research/demonstration projects that serve as the foundations for
effective physical activity and recreation programming for individuals
with disabilities. Below is a listing of these leaders and the
institutions represented while they served as NCPERID president. These
persons have also served as mentors to many current professionals in
this field.
