Showcasing more than 100 adaptive sports programs, organizations, and how-to articles, the Disaboom guide covers topics as diverse as handcycling, wheelchair baseball, sports for special needs kids, adaptive equipment, and accessible travel.
Adaptive Sports Key to Health and Fitness
The Guide reflects the important role adaptive sports play in the lives of people with disabilities, kids with special needs, and families seeking out opportunities to just have fun together. Whether it's wheelchair racing or adaptive kayaking or the all-out speed of handcycling, adaptive sports and recreation provide an excellent and inexpensive way for people with disabilities to stay healthy and fit, key issues for the disability community.
The Guide includes articles and resources on:
-- Adaptive cycling, also known as handcycling
-- Camps for special needs kids
-- Water sports (including adaptive sailing and scuba diving)
-- "Adaptive action sports" for the extreme-athlete crowd
-- Local (and inexpensive!) sports options
In addition, the Summer Adaptive Sports Guide lists more than 50 adaptive sports programs with links to their websites for further information; provides links to equipment providers for various adaptive sports; and directs readers to related content in Disaboom's Adaptive Sports and Accessible Travel sections. More resources are identified within the Guide's articles, with links for additional information.
Summer Adaptive Sports Guide Part of Unique Series
The Summer Adaptive Sports Guide is the most recent in Disaboom's unique series of special-topic guides, including the Winter Adaptive Sports Guide, the Holiday '09 Guide, and the Accessible Vacations '08 Guide. Other anticipated guides in the series now in development will focus on education, self-employment, and disability benefits, among other topics.
