Adapting aquatic recreation for kids with disabilities

In an article from the IU Newsroom, six scuba instructors at Indiana University recently brought the experience of scuba diving to campers with disabilities at Bradford Woods. Faculty at IU's School of Public Health worked with Bradford Woods staff to make the nearly two year-long dream a reality.

According to the article, "[t]he scuba training was offered for four camps this summer. Instructors adapted the course for nearly 100 individuals with craniofacial anomalies, such as cleft lip and palate; cancer; sickle cell anemia and other blood disorders; and various physical disabilities."
