Abstract
All individuals and groups of individuals live in, and interact with, a wider world of people and places. They influence this world in varying degrees and at the same time are affected by it. With respect to leisure, this pattern of relationships may be referred to as the ecology of leisure. This ecology embraces the various contexts in which leisure is pursued and the activities enjoyed. With respect to people with profound and multiple disabilities, it includes their aspirations and needs as well as those of their parents, carers and the statutory and voluntary sector staff who are involved with them.
