Adapted Fitness and Personal Training Program

(Record Last Updated: June 11, 2008)

The Adapted Fitness and Personal Training classes offered through the Physical Education Activity Program serve a diverse population that includes students with permanent as well as temporary disabilities. While many class members are UW students, the classes are also open to members of the community. Participation requires status as a special, guest or degree-earning student; those who receive disability benefits may be eligible to have their tuition waved. Community members with disabilities who wish to become involved in the program must first meet with Tim Gattenby, the adapted physical education coordinator. In addition to serving students with disabilities, the program also provides professional development opportunities for teachers who wish to attain the DPI 860 endorsement.
