The MATP Challenge Day is a new program offered by the KSD’s Special Services Department. The purpose of the Challenge Day is to provide a motor activity and recreational training for students with the most severe disabilities.
“This is a way for more severely disabled children to have some involvement in sports and physical activity and to gain some recognition for their efforts," says KSD physical therapist, Bev Mey. “Most of the students participating have physical disabilities, although a few the kids have autism and because of the behavioral part of their disability, aren’t able to participate in the Special Olympics.”
Many volunteers from school district employees throughout the district to scout troops helped run the event. Activities this year included golf, bowling, baseball, a water balloon launcher, and outdoor play.
Attached is a movie file of the May 29, 2009 event. |
