Foundations of Inclusion and Accessibility

Systems and strategies to create more accessible training environments and inclusive programs so that individuals with intellectual and physical disabilities have the opportunity to improve their health, performance, and participate in athletics and recreational activities that they love.

Students will learn how to:

Differentiate between the social and medical models of disability and understand how to apply a social model perspective to their programs
Apply universal design for learning frameworks to fitness to make instruction and environments accessible
Address physical, cognitive, and digital accessibility barriers
Communicate more effectively with clients of all abilities

What Students are Saying...

The AdaptX Course was Fantastic! I have taken many online classes/certifications, but none that have been as well done and applicable as AdaptX. I feel much more confident in my ability to create an inclusive fitness environment and work with individuals in various populations.

Take this course! Most comprehensive collection of information to help understand Adaptive Fitness Training and proper certification given after a test of acquired knowledge. Connects you to others who have this focus as well. Good Stuff!!

This program has been a great wrinkle to add to my development as a recreational therapist and professional. Adaptx should be a be a stable in the CTRS profession.

I can't recommend AdaptX enough! The content is comprehensive and evidence-based while still being taught in a digestible and applicable way. For trainers, PTs, OTs, adaptive PE teachers, etc. this course will push you to think differently about disability and how you can create the most inclusive environment possible for your clients!
