This week we learned about the importance sports can play in the lives of people with disabilities. And before I tell you all the official stuff that I learned, let me tell you a little bit about the stuff that I learned all on my own that touched my heart. The last 3 weeks we have learned about 3 different activities that can help improve, inspire, entertain, motivate, make happy, etc. people with disabilities. Those are: outdoor activities, art, and sports. The thing that hit me the hardest this week is that WE ARE SO MUCH ALIKE. Is that any different than people who don't have disabilities? NO! We need those activities in our lives just like they do. It is wholesome, fun, and good for our minds, bodies, and souls. As professionals it is important to provide these benefits for anyone who is looking for them.
We watched a few great videos and I will post one that we watched and one that I found a few weeks ago. Both are so sweet:
Really I just think that we need to provide for those in need, whether disabled or not, to help people be happy, grow, and in some cases come closer to reaching their full potential.
