Workout and weight loss on wheels- kids with disabilities
There are so many programs to help kids raise their self esteem and self awareness regarding food and fitness. Unfortunately when I asked program leaders if many kids had disabilities they had to really think and they came up with one or maybe two. Disability is still a foreign concept out of the classroom. What can be done to change that? The answer is not just to talk about it but rather for kids with challenges to join the groups. There should be inclusion outside of the classroom. There must be kids in these programs who have classmates with challenges! We need to find them and encourage them to be involved with marathons and eating health diets. The best way to teach disability is through exposure not special disability awareness programs.
