Inclusion seems to be a common theme for NCHPAD throughout this month's newsletter. The "In the News" section features "Promoting Inclusive Physical Activity Communities for People with Disabilities," for which NCHPAD director James H. Rimmer serves as the guest author. NCPAD's New Document feature is a Community Spotlight on a motivated group of people in Seattle that are dedicated to making inclusive play areas for their local children. Also, coming up in October is the Inclusive Fitness Conference, which NCHPAD is excited to be co-hosting (see the Events section for details). So check out these other NCHPAD resources to find out why and how everyone should Fall for Inclusion this month!
