I am starting the Adapted Physical Activity minor in the fall. I did some volunteer work with adults and kids with disabilities and I fell in love with it and I believe that this is what I am supposed to do. Many people say they don't make it through this minor because it is difficult. I want to make it through! Is there any encouraging words or advice you could give me to be the best Adapted Physical Activtiy minor I can be? |

IS THE CONCEPT UNDERSTOOD AMONGST ADMINISTRATORS ?
HOW COMPETENT ARE THE ADAPTED PHYSICAL EDUCATORS WITH VARIOUS ACTIVITIES AND THE SENSORY LOSS/DISABILITY.
SURELY THERE IS A LOTS TO DO....MOST OF ALL ITS VERY REWARDING IN TERMS OF LOVE!!
GOOD LUCK TO ALL SINCERE TEACHERS IN SPECIAL EDUCATION ,ESPECIALLY THE ONES WORKING FOR INTELLECTUALLY CHALLENGED

One word of advice that I can give you, that is literally one word... is patience. A friend of mine is a physical therapist who works with deaf children. It is a very rewarding job and she loves it. However, there are days when she feels hopeless in these childrens lives and that what she is doing isn't really making a difference, and they won't change. Then every year she looks at her evaluation forms and realizes what an improvement each and everyone of them has made. Working with the disabled takes a special kind of person. Yet, if you have the notion that it's what your meant to do, then do it, because you will need that drive! Just remember to be patient! Good luck! |
