Community Based Training - Physical Education and Physical Therapy

Special Olympics is a key part of physical education in the CBT department, which many of our students choose to participate in. There are two different basketball teams (roughly divided by skill) that play in the winter, and students also might participate in spring track and field events. Every year many of our students win medals in state competitions.

Additionally, many students choose to swim several times a week at Madison pool, and adaptive PE is taught a couple times a week. Many of our students have the opportunity to play sports such as tennis or basketball at various times throughout the week. And then on at least a weekly basis students who qualify are seen by an occupational therapist / physical therapist, who works with students on a variety of functional skills, which could include tying shoes, dressing, lifting weights, or mobility.
