Course Description:

Course outcomes:

On successful completion of this clinic (and with additional practice), you will be able to:

  • Identify some of the most prevalent cognitive diagnoses and associated medications guests have in snowsports lessons
  • Perform a student assessment
  • Use teaching models, such as the Teaching/Learning Cycle and Sensory Preferences
  • Incorporate Maslow's Needs into your lessons to make the lessons effective and satisfying for your students
  • Explore adaptive teaching tools


This course is beneficial if you:

  • Teach students with cognitive diagnoses
  • Teach children or seniors, who often have unreported cognitive diagnoses
  • Are preparing for adaptive certification


This interactive clinic serves as a base for any ski or snowboard instructor seeking information on effectively connecting with and teaching guests who have mild to significant cognitive-related challenges, from stroke survivors to children with Autism Spectrum Disorders.


Due to the increasing prevalence of students with cognitive diagnoses in typical educational activities and the growing number of senior sliders, this clinic is valuable for all snow sports instructors.




Additional Event Details:

Ticket & Meeting information will be sent out by the Examiner 1-3 days ahead of time.


Lift Tickets for this event have graciously been donated by Perfect North Slopes.
