VIDBE-Q Volume 65 Issue 1 coaches have described the Sports and Expanded Core Curriculum Assessment as beneficial for seeing present levels of performance and increasing their understanding of working with the athlete and decreasing apprehension. These assessments have also started conversations with PE teachers about unit and activity adaptations as well as adaptive equipment available. Campers are empowered to advocate for accessible equipment and teaching methods for themselves in the classroom and on sports teams, such as a guide runner, commentated gameplay and demonstrations, verbal cues, tactile modeling, audible equipment, and tactile maps and diagrams. As we look forward to the future, we will be expanding to adult sessions, sport specific high performance training sessions, and many others. This will enable us to continue our impact on campers and progress professional development.
