Youths with spina bifida, siblings, parents, the Syracuse Flyers athletes, adapted physical education students and staff from SUNY Cortland, and staff members of the Spina Bifida Center of CNY New York will walk/ride together on April 26 at the annual March of Dimes Walk for Babies. Our group will be one of many teams to represent the Golisano Children's Hospital at SUNY Upstate Medical University. We will also distribute information about the Syracuse Flyers Wheelchair Sports Club to physical education teachers at area schools. The project builds on a year-long series of monthly group visits for families of children with spina bifida. These group visits include medical care, information sessions for parents, and wheelchair sports activities for children under the supervision of graduate students from SUNY Cortland Adapted Physical Education Department. The overarching goal of the group visit project is to assure high quality adapted physical education in area schools, and to provide recreational and competitive wheelchair sports programming for area children who have physical disabilities.
