Notes

The University of Wisconsin Oshkosh Adapted Physical Education Program currently sponsors four programs. During Fall semester, in conjunction with the YMCA they have an adapted aquatics program for individuals with disabilities and a sports for individuals with disabilities program in conjunction with the Oshkosh Recreation Department. During spring semester they host a Special Movin' School program, which is a recreation program for people with disabilities, and their families. In May, they host an event called "Fishing Has No Boundaries" for people with disabilities to have an opportunity to learn how to fish.
