On Thursday, Oct 14th at 6:30 pm Pacific the Western Adaptive Taskforce, the Mt, High Adaptive Program and Rim Special Athletes will present “Teaching Skills” with “Teaching Tips from the Masters” by Zoom.

Adapting to our current situation means we are moving in a direction of virtual learning – lots of Zoom!  In partnership with Mt High Adaptive, Rim Special Athletes, and the Adaptive Task Force of PSIA-AASI-W have developed an exciting Adaptive webinar series featuring interactive online clinics at no charge. We encourage you to attend and invite your staff, volunteers, friends, and colleagues too.
