Field of dreams : sports equality for children with special needs

Currently, there is a lack of equal opportunity for children with disabilities to participate or succeed in both school and club athletics. These programs have a positive effect on the development of children, especially those with disabilities, giving all a chance to socialize and exercise. Society forgets that children, regardless of their ability, deserve the right to grow in an athletic community with their peers. After speaking with parents, faculty, and the children themselves, a conclusion was made that physical activity is an extremely positive experience for the children so that they too can realize they are capable of playing and having fun. To address this issue, an adaptive soccer clinic was run through California State University, Monterey Bay Athletics to provide exposure to sports and share the love of the game with all children. Children with disabilities have the right to participate and it is important to raise awareness that everyone can be a part of sports

Are Early Investments In Computer Skills Rewarded In The Labor Market?

The paper assesses the relationship between investments in computer skills by adolescents and earnings at age 26. The heaviest investors earned 9 to 16 percent more than otherwise equivalent NELS-88 classmates. The payoff to early computer skills was substantial in jobs involving intense and complex uses of computers; negligible when computers were not used at work. It was non-gaming use of computers outside of school that enhanced future earnings, not playing video/computer games—which lowered earnings. Children in low SES families invested less in computer skills and thus benefited less from the job opportunities generated by the digital revolution

Adapted Physical Education at the State University of New York College at Brockport, (1968-1993)

This study was designed to record and summarize accomplishments associated with the adapted physical education program at SUNY Brockport from 1968 to 1993. Information was collected from a variety of primary and secondary sources and accomplishments were summarized as they pertained to four areas related to the adapted physical education program: professional preparation, funded research, athletic services, and faculty. In summary, the SUNY Brockport master\u27s degree concentration in adapted physical education was implemented in 1968 and was the first in the United States. For 21 years between 1971 and 1993 the concentration was financially assisted by the U.S. Department of Education. In 1981, an undergraduate concentration in adapted physical education was initiated. Between 1968 and 1993, three major research projects related to the physical fitness of individuals with disabilities were funded by the U.S. Department of Education. In regard to athletic services, Brockport hosted several games at the county, state, and international levels. In the first 25 years, 10 individuals served as faculty members in association with the professional preparation program. Dr. Francis X. Short served as a faculty member in the professional preparation program, as a researcher on funded research projects, and as a contributor to other service activities from 1979. Dr. Winnick began at Brockport in 1965 and he was responsible for initiating both the graduate and undergraduate professional preparation programs; directing funded professional preparation and research projects, and contributing to on-campus athletic activities for the entire first 25 years of the program
