Slide Show
Adapted Kinesiology

Since the program is based upon individual plans, most classes have a wide variety of disabilities. Students have different levels of mobility, balance, strength, cardiovascular endurance, flexibility and joint range of motion. They may work one on one with a student assistant, work in small or large group. Once an assessment has been completed, students will be given a Personal Exercise Plan and begin working towards their class goals. Special adapted equipment may be used for the student's success.

The Adapted Kinesiology Program serves a wide range of disabilities, such as:

Arthritis, Blindness and visual impairments, Brain injury, Cardiovascular and Respiratory conditions, Cerebral palsy
Chronic back/neck and other orthopedic conditions, Developmental delays, Hip and knee replacement, Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson's Disease, Post PolioPost Stroke, Spinal Cord Injuries, Temporary conditions such as broken leg, arm or ankle.
