That the government intervine and encourage schools to include students with disabilities Growing up that was what I wanted. I remember watching Air Bud and making up my mind that I wanted to play sports in high school. I was able to partake in track and golf thoughout my middle and high school career while doing team sports with my church and Special Olympics. I am so glad that other kids will have a chance to particeapate in team sports.
I know its a recommendation so i hope that schools will actually fallow trough and give more student athletes a chance to be on the school team because if they do then student atheltes will receive some benefits such as.
Eating right and excersing are key to living an healthy lifestyle |
I have been watching the Biggest Loser this season in which they are tackling childhood obesity by having three kid ambassador. Something they have said is exercise for kids should be fun activity. Kids with disabilities are more likely to be overweight than average kids partly because their are not a ton of avenues for kids to play hopefully now they will be.
Part of the recommendation is that additional teams be made if programs can not accommodate student athletes so wheelchair basketball teams could start up with in school distrcts |
Some kids with disabilities have a difficult time moving around. I used to have bad balance as a toddler and my parents took me to the park to help me learn how to move my body. As I got older sports gave me incentives to work on balance and conation while having fun.
None of these sports all off limits anymore |
Social Skills
Kids with disabilities can have a hard time making friends so having them in a social environment allows them to interact with others who have similar interest hopefully this will lead kids to form authentic friendships.
Self Esteem is a good thing for everyone to have |
Self Esteem
When kids are able to do something their passonate about and be recognized in their school community for doing it their self esteem will rise dramatically I loved wearing my golf sweat shirt to school it made me feel like I was a part of the team. I also got to be in the yearbook along with all the other girls on the team.
Sponge bob thinks all kids should have fun |
Lers face it kids with disabilities have extra huddles growing up. whether it be walking talking learning or a combination of these thing .There are hours of therapy and extra practice that kids have to do . On top of all of they are just kids who deserve the same found memories of childhood as any other kid. They deserve to play for the sake of playing and that is why I hope that every school district opens the door for these student athletes to participate alongside their peers.
