Our Dialogue on Disability Week continues with a conversation about adaptive sports. According to the CDC, nearly half of adults with disabilities ages 18 to 64 do not get aerobic physical activity. Local organizations are helping to change that by offering opportunities in adaptive sports.
We hear the stories of local athletes in those programs. Our guests:
- Michael Cocquyt, supervisor of SportsNet
- Jen Truscott, alpine skier
- David Grace, sled hockey athlete, who participates in many winter sports
Dialogue on Disability is a partnership between WXXI and Al Sigl Community of Agencies - in conjunction with the Herman and Margaret Schwartz Community Series. Dialogue on Disability is supported by the Fred L. Emerson Foundation with additional support from The Golisano Foundation.
