Visual Awareness and Sport course
In response to the interest generated by the Beijing Paralympics, Kathryn Fielding of the RNIB has developed a bespoke training course entitled 'Visual Awareness and Sport'.
This can either be a half day (£350) or full day course (£700) for a maximum of 20 people (staff or students). Areas covered can include:
- Definitions of disability
- The Disability Discrimination Act (DDA)
- Working with people with disabilities
- Common eye conditions
- Guiding techniques
- Sight classifications
- The structure of Disability Sport
- The Paralympic Games
- The Inclusion Spectrum
- Adapting sports - equipment, playing area and rules
- Coaching tips
- VI sport specific practical sessions - cricket, football, goalball, tennis, etc
As the course is a mixture of theory and practical, suitable class/meeting room and main/sports hall facilities would be required. If you would like any more information, please let me know.
