It describes, from the caregivers' point of view, how their engagement in leisure activities has been negatively affected. Drawing from these personal experiences, this document illustrates the uniqueness of FSMII with CTIS in working through the barriers that caregiv-ers encounter in the process of accessing/engaging in leisure activities.
