Adapted Sports Service
The adapted sports service is a transversal service, made up of a team of professionals from different fields of physical activity: teaching, aquatic activity, rehabilitation, adapted sports, social field, always with a teaching base. We work in an interdisciplinary way with professionals from occupational centers, residences and schools (physiotherapists, speech therapists, occupational therapists, teachers, social workers), so that the benefits of physical activity are as global as possible.
Philosophy of Attention to the person
Our aim is to take another step towards normalization and effective inclusion, integrating the practice of physical activity as a regular occurrence during school and extra-curricular hours, in the daily hours of occupational centers and residences, and that among the possibilities of employment of leisure time; that the design of the activities itself contemplates the possibility of anyone participating, whatever their characteristics.
