Greetings!

It's officially summer!  So, in this issue, we wanted to remind you about the many programs exclusively for children and adults with disabilities offered in Miami-Dade County (run by Certified Therapeutic Specialist).  Click on the Miami-Dade's Parks, Recreation and Open Spaces tab below for more information.  Also, the 2013 Amputee  Coalition National Conference is later this month in Orlando, Florida and will feature the first-ever Adaptive Sports and Recreation Expo Hall!  

And finally - GO HEAT!!

Amputee Coalition National Conference in June at SeaWorld    

 

This year, the National Conference is featuring several adaptive sports and recreational clinics as well as its first-ever Adaptive Sport & Recreation Expo Hall, where adaptive programs from around the country will have informational exhibits to share their information with conference attendees.

Interested in golf? Maybe hockey? How about soccer or basketball? Pick a sport and you will likely find an exhibit in the hall.

Stay an extra day after our Conference and participate in our AmpuSki clinic! CAST Ministries is partnering with UCanSki2 to provide a basic skills waterski clinic for amputees on Sunday, June 30. There is no cost to participate. Participants will be provided with a BBQ lunch and a T-shirt for the event through this USA Waterski-certified clinic. Attendees must register, and space is limited to 50 participants. Register here.

Come. Learn. Experiment. And, go home with a new activity!

Disability Services Program...Check it out!
