Celebrate a healthy Father's Day and Men's Health Week, June 9-15, with NCPAD! Consult NCPAD's numerous fact sheets on disabling conditions, as well as adapted sports and recreation. A disabling condition should not prevent you from engaging in your favorite sports, such as golf (http://www.ncpad.org/212/1396/Golf) or tennis (http://www.ncpad.org/37/291/Wheelchair~Tennis). Remember to take full advantage of other recreational activities with friends and family, such as hiking and backpacking (http://www.ncpad.org/66/489/Camping~~Backpacking~~and~Hiking).
NEW AT THE NCHPAD WEB SITE:
- NCHPAD Minute Video: NCHPAD has begun a series of "minute videos," short video clips to jump-start your exercise program or "freshen" it up. Click on http://www.ncpad.org/content/61/Video to view the initial clip on avoiding pressure ulcers for wheelchair users. These clips are also great to use for instructional purposes.
- Check out two new slide shows:"Addressing the Physical Activity Needs of Children and Adults with Developmental Disabilities" and "Modifying Exercise Programs for Specific Subgroups of Older Adults and Persons with Disabilities".
