Aquatic therapy course in valens and a new website

Submitted by jaime on Mon, 07/26/2010 - 09:15

o all ex-participants of the aquatic therapy courses in Valens.

In 2008 we introduced the successor of our BRRM CD: www.badragazringmethod.org This web-based CD gave us the possibility to update contents relatively easy and more frequently than when working with CD’s. In 2009 we were able to include the website (password and username) for the first time in a course.

The website has extended texts, includes video clips of PNF techniques in BRRM and also underwater shots of the proper stance.
In 2010 we were able to follow up with the website www.halliwicktherapy.org . 250 pictures are mostly arranged according the ICF, some explaining texts (and video clips in future) form the contents. In 2010 we included also this site in our course.

The price for individuals – only after a course – is € 40 per site.

Because of our 10th anniversary , we would like to offer all ex-participants both sites for a price of € 56 instead of € 80. We do not sell the sites separately.

The subscription has no time limitation, no annual fee, Just a one time payment is sufficient.

When you would like to use this offer, after payment we’ll provide a username and password through the webmaster.

Money-Making Opportunities for Adapted PE Specialists

Submitted by jaime on Tue, 04/27/2010 - 07:57

Adapted physical educators can earn money on the side by leading workshops for fellow teachers. The American Association for Physical Activity and Recreation (AAPAR) seeks nationally Certified Adapted Physical Educators (CAPE designation through APENS) to share their expertise with other physical educators, so they can better include students with disabilities in physical education classes. AAPAR’s workshops are customized to meet the needs of school districts by providing workshops on:
 

  • inclusion techniques
  • visual impairments
  • mobility limitations
  • autism spectrum disorders
  • behavior management, and more

Instructors are selected for specific workshop opportunities based on geographical proximity, expertise, and history of successful instruction. You must be an AAPAR member to lead our workshops. If you are not already an AAPAR, joining is easy and has many benefits!
 
Whether you would like to request an adapted PE workshop for your school or become a workshop leader, visit AAPAR’s Website for more information.

Israeli-Palestinian Junior Wheelchair-Basketball Coach's Seminar

Submitted by jaime on Fri, 02/19/2010 - 07:48

     

 

Within the framework of a partnership program organized and financed by the Peres Center for Peace in the Middle East,
a monthly exchange program among youth with and without physical
disabilities who play wheelchair-basketball has been planned.

Partners in this program are Lifegate rehabilitation association located in Beit Jallah from the Palestinian side, and the Israel Sport Center for the Disabled (ISCD) located in Ramat-Gan from the Israeli side. The activity is intended to follow the guidelines of the junior wheelchair-basketball activity with a twin-basket principle
(a basket at regular height and one at 1.20 meters height for the less
functionally able participants), originally developed by the ISCD with
the assistance of the Israel National Insurance Instutute Fund for Demonstration Projects.

In
order to establish basic knowledge and skills for instruction, a
coach's seminar was organized during 18-19 November 2009. Participants
in the Seminar were Jad and Abir from Beit Gallah, and Isam from Kfar
Manda, and Arab community in the north of Israel. The following impressions were written by Inbal Ben-Ezer, from the Peres Center.

After a short introduction,
we started the first day with some basics about the Wheelchair itself,
how to match a wheelchair to a player, the classification system of
wheelchair-basketball players and the basic rules of basketball in
general and wheelchair-basketball in particular – all explained by
Head-coach Liran.

After
our lunch break, Liran got us all into wheelchairs and taught us basic
skills: maneuvering the wheelchair, dribbling, passing the ball, and
shooting to the basket. Accompanying Liran were Gadi and Salim, two
coaches from Beer-Sheva who came to help and support us.

Towards
the afternoon we drove to Rishon Letzion to watch a
wheelchair-basketball practice conducted by the coaches Tal and
Nehorai. We saw the different kinds of disabilities of the children as
well as the conduct of the able children on the wheelchair, and
witnessed some of the different kinds of training activities conducted
in a practice and a short game between the kids.

We ended the long and interesting day with dinner in Tel-Aviv and went our separate ways.

Our
second day began on the wheelchairs, practicing some of the skills
learnt the day before, focusing on blocking and shooting (between
players or individually).

After
a short coffee break we continued to a conversation with Ayelet, a
social worker, who explained some of the complexities of working with
disabled children and their parents and communities. Issues that were
raised include how to recruit the children, acceptance and support of
the family and the community, and the dynamics between the team players
(between children with different disabilities, between able and
disabled children, between boys and girls at a certain age, etc.). The
conversation was very important and productive and it touched important
questions and difficulties the coaches, Liran and Ayelet raised. Finally, we went back to the court and Liran taught us some drills, exercises, and activities to practice with the kids.
