Notes

WAS has charted new direction for building bonds between instructors and students as well as among the students themselves. With our mentoring program, initiated in 2006 through a grant from the Commonwealth Neurotrauma Initiative of the Virginia Department of Rehabilitative Services, we are pairing students and instructors with similar disabilities. The mentor serves as a role model, a coach, and a concerned friend whose life experience has much to offer the student in coping with his/her disability.

While the CNI grant focuses on spinal cord injuries, WAS has continued to develop mentoring programs for our children and teenagers with a disability as well as adults participating in day support programs in Central Virginia area.
