This past Tuesday class we watched two videos about people in different populations doing amazing and phnemonal things. Some of things included rock climbing, playing hockey, and sailing. It was really neat to see all of the adaptive equipment out there. Speaking of which, this leads to the question that I am going to answer in my blog tonight which is: "What can a Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist (CTRS) learn from these stories?" From this videos I learned that anything is possible, you just have to be open-minding and willing to try out new things. Adapations for ANYTHING are out there and everyday they provide happiness and wellness to each individual who is participating. Also, another thing I learned from the videos was that social supports such as your friends and family is very important in a person's life who has a disability. They encourage that individual so much to follow their dreams and keep living their lives I think it would be very difficult to not have your friends and family as support. However, if that is the position an individual is in, I think a CTRS could be there more for that individual and encourage them more to increase their self-esteem so they become an independent and outgoing person.
Well this is all for now!
