These workshops are designed
to provide instructors, outfitters, recreation
program providers, and rehabilitation professionals with the information
they need to integrate paddlers with disabilities into their programs.
Under the Americans with
Disabilities Act of 1990, a person may not be excluded from a program just
because they have a disability.
Instructors need to be prepared to integrate persons with disabilities
into their programs.
The workshop includes how to
compensate for a paddlers loss of function due to disability, how to adapt
equipment and instruction and how to focus on the paddlers ability. This course includes a classroom and hands on
learning, a pool session and open water paddling.
Novice paddlers with a wide
range of abilities participate in the final 2 day of the workshop. After customized adaptations are developed,
each novice paddler learns paddling skills from a certified paddling instructor.
The final day is an open water paddle.
All completing this workshop
receive a certificate of completion.
ACA certified paddling instructors
receive the Adaptive Paddling Endorsement and also ACA Update credit applied to
their paddling instructor certification - upon completion of this 4-day
workshop.
