FHSU Athletics, Tigers for IDD and the Arc of Central Plain collaborated to host the first-ever Adaptive Sport and Fitness Night on Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Members of FHSU sports teams led participants in games related to their sport. This event was part of student Kendra Clary\u2019s culminating experience<\/a> for her Health and Human Performance Degree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis program is to serve as a building block in the relationship between FHSU and the IDD community,\u201d Clary said. \u201c In HHP we are working to break down obstacles to physical health and wellness to all members of the community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another Adaptive Sport and Fitness Night is tentatively scheduled for this coming fall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is a trial run to see how things go,\u201d Clary said. \u201cWe hope to take the lessons learned and host similar events for the IDD community in years to come.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
