So for the past 15 weeks I have discussed sports and disabilities and their separate significances in people's lives. I have discussed disabled sports such as wheelchair basketball in the beginning and talked about both the Paralympics and Deaflympics. I think througout the semester I successfully addressed all aspects of my blog and informed many of you of a different sports world. As for many of you I'm sure sports have also been apart of your life and will continue to be. Sports for many are a way to escape and release tension. Sports build confidence and allow friendships to grow. Disabled sports or non-Disabled sports they are still sports, and now I hope everyone undestands that. Disabled sports gives children and adults the chance to grow in confidence and also make new experiences.
A good website that I found that really discusses everything I have talked about this semester is dsusa.com. The website is called Disabled Sports USA and in the website it talks about many different programs and sports. This webite explains both winter and summer games. Winter athletics include skiing which is special because it includes both cross country and alpine skiing. Alpine skiing is special because disabled athletes can still participate by skiing only one ski which is extrememly impressive! Athletics have come extrodinarily far even from a century ago, they incorporate all types of athletes! I had fun doing this blog project and learned alot from all of you and your posts!!! Have a great holiday and good luck on finals week!

Great job on the blog Al. I really enjoyed reading it over the past semester. All the information was really interesting, about parlympics and adaptive physical education for kids. Good job, thanks for all the information.
