Here are some highlights of the adapted physical education concentration:

We currently have three programs running on campus:

• The Swim & Gym clinic hosts 70 children with various disabilities. This is held on Fridays from 9:30 to 11:30 am. Each child works in the gym with an undergraduate student on locomotor skills, object control and fitness. Then they work in the pool on aquatic skills. It is a huge hit with everyone - especially the children!
• The Rochester Rookies is a track team comprised of children with spinal cord injuries. They practice here at SUNY Brockport with undergraduate students as their coaches. They compete in competitions in the US and often in other countries in the junior paralympics!
• Camp Abilities is a developmental sports camp for children with visual impairments, blindness and deafblindness. It is held the last week of June for one week at SUNY Brockport. Last year we had 53 campers and we expect that many again this summer. See our Web site at www.campabilitiesbrockport.org .

Dr. Joseph P. Winnick recently published the 4 th edition of Adapted Physical Education and Sport. Dr. Cathy Houston-Wilson, Dr. Doug Collier, Dr. Francis X. Short and Dr. Lauren Lieberman from SUNY Brockport all contributed chapters to the book published through Human Kinetics.

Dr. Doug Collier will receive the Amazing Person Award from the New York State Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance for his contributions at the state level in adapted physical education.

Lastly, Loretta Claiborne came to Brockport as a guest speaker on September 28. Ms. Claiborne has run 26 marathons, holds the record for women in the Special Olympics mile run, won an ESPY Award in 1996 for her courage, and was the inspiration for a Disney movie called The Loretta Claiborne Story . Claiborne has achieved so much in her life despite an intellectual disability, a visual impairment, and growing up in a single parent family with seven children in an inner city in Pennsylvania.
