CR partnered with technical writing academic class to review current programs and equipment and make recommendations. CR coordinators met with the director of Students with Disabilities Services (SDSD) and reviewed current fitness equipment available in Stromberg arena. The Intramural and Club Sports coordinator (IMCSC) explored with the SDSD intramural sports leagues that may be of interest to disabled students.
| Swenson pool needs a lift that will assist disabled participants with entering/exiting the pool. CR is working with the HPHP department to purchase and install a lift summer 2012.
SDSD confirmed that current fitness equipment meets basic needs. However, CR will invest in adaptive straps that will assist with gripping movements. We will also conduct training with hourly staff on how to interact with and assist disabled students with fitness equipment usage. With future equipment purchases in expansion projects, CR will ensure upper body ergometers are included on the strength and cardio floor. Also with expansion projects, CR will offer upper body ergometers in group cycling classes.
CR purchased equipment and debuted goal ball (visual impaired) at the Spring 2012 Late Night at the Gym event (42 participants). The event was well-received and an IM league will be formed Fall 2012. We will continue to explore wheelchair basketball as a league option, although equipment costs are a deterrent. We advocate using the term "Inclusive Recreation" as we want able-bodied as well as disabled students to participate and interact. |
