Participants will walk away with actionable tools for planning and implementing adapted sport programs that ensure all students, regardless of ability, can fully participate and benefit. You will not just hear about adapted sports,you will experience them yourself through interactive activities that introduce the rules, adaptations, and excitement of several different sports. Get ready to gain fresh insights, new skills, and a deeper appreciation for the joy and impact of inclusive recreation.
