Promoting Adapted Sports Skills Clinic

Improving sport skills in individuals with disabilities

The School of Health & Human Sciences’ Adapted Movement Programs (AMP) offers a Promoting Adapted Sports Skills (PASS) Clinic. This clinic provides a unique opportunity for individuals with disabilities ages six and up to receive sport-related instruction with a sibling. As always, our clinics have a dual purpose: to provide quality programming for individuals with disabilities and to educate students in the Department of Kinesiology about adapted physical activity. Therefore, PASS participants will receive instruction from an upper-level kinesiology student.

Activities

Improving sport skills (e.g. group or individual) is the main objection of the PASS Clinic. Participants receive individualized (one to two participants per instructor) sport skill-related programming based on their abilities.

We also want to extend an invitation to interested siblings to participate alongside their brother or sister with a disability. Activities vary for each individual, but participants focus primarily on improving group or individual sport skills related to a sport/activity of their choosing. This may include participation in small group games. All activities will be individualized and modified based on the participants initial skill level. Kinesiology students will develop individualized lesson plans tailored to the needs of each participant.
