Therapy students find aquatics class helps challenged kids
Rehab Regs, July 14, 2006
Physical therapy students from Shenandoah University in Winchester, VA, are helping to lead an adaptive aquatics class for children who normally wouldn't be able to attend swimming classes, reported The Winchester Star.
The class is for children ages 4 to 11 who suffer from physical, emotional, or mental challenges, such as cerebral palsy or sensory integration disorder.
The PT students help the children perform activities in the pool that they normally have a difficult time performing on dry land-i.e., walking or jumping.
Though studies are only in their infancy, the students told the Star that the classes appear to be therapeutic for the children, improving their physical movements and confidence.
