Abstract

My presentation will be primarily based on the volunteer work I have done this semester. This was done through Holiday Valley Ski Resort at the Lounsbury Adaptive Ski Program where I worked with children with developmental and physical disabilities to teach them to ski and/or use assistive devices to make the sport accessible. I will also discuss both the physical and mental health benefits for the IDD population, as well as information a coach would need to keep in mind from a medical standpoint when participating in these lessons.
