Children and youths ages 3-18 with physical disabilities can participate in the six-week Pete's Pals program that offers community-based aquatic and motor therapies.

The program is designed to help children become efficient movers in a fun and safe environment, Flynn says. Each participant will be assigned a trained clinician who will guide them through a variety of activities inducing physical fitness to improve muscular strength, endurance and flexibility; body awareness and special orientation; fundamental and motor patterns and sports skills; swimming and water safety skills; and sensory motor activities. Parents also can listen to speakers or participate in a support group during this time.

The program is sponsored by the Department of Health and Kinesiology, which is housed in the College of Liberal Arts, the College of Liberal Arts Engagement Office and the Faith Community Center.
