...walking on water...

Final Group Assignment. My task - research inspiring videos that use adaptive assistive technology for physical education.






So, this post is dedicated to those individuals who waterski.. thier disability- is secondary. These individuals just plain participate in life. These posted videos display courage, determination and the attitude of "BRING IT ON! Incredible is how the sport has to adapt to the determination of the disability..not vice versa.








These videos include the people who are the driving forces behind the innovations in the technology, and so are the supporters - WaterSki Disabled Assoc.






These videos are going to inspire you to get off the couch, I promise.
