Easter Seals Disability Awareness School Program
During the month of March, Easter Seals Take PART program travelled to a number of schools in HRM to give students the necessary knowledge and experiences to create positive attitudes towards disability.
With the assistance of Joanna Swett, an experienced and able-bodied wheelchair basketball player with the Nova Scotia Provincial Wheelchair Basketball Team, fun and interactive adapted physical activities were provided to enable the students to experience physical activity from the perspective of an athlete with a physical disability.
All students were encouraged to try out the sport wheelchairs provided by Easter Seals, and participate in a number of wheelchair activities to acquire skills and develop a greater understanding of various levels of ability.
