Abstract

Self-esteem is the evaluation we make of ourselves or the degree to which we
perceive ourselves positively or negatively, our overall attitudes in the
direction of ourselves. It can be calculated clearly or absolutely. Teachers,
parents, therapists, and others have focused efforts on boosting self-esteem,
on the assumption that high self-esteem will cause many positive outcomes
and benefits. It is integral to an individual’s sense of their own value, a
principal component of mental health, a strong indicator of a healthy lifestyle
and an important indicator of well-being. Adolescence is the stage of most of
the individual developmental changes and life challenges are associated. It is
a kind of transitional stage where all the psychological and bodily
development occurs, that can influence emotional skills as well as physical
and psychological ability.
Physical disability is a person’s limitation to function a particular action in
everyday life. The inability to use arms, legs, or the body trunk effectively
because of paralysis, stiffness, pain or other impairment’s is common. It can
be due to the result of birth defects, disease, age or accidents.
This study serves as an initial investigation of how planned recreational
activities can improve self-esteem among physically handicapped
adolescents. To approach the problem a quantitative evaluative research
approach with a quasi experimental research design with non-randomized
