Thousands of Maine children, teens, and adults - and millions of Americans - are disabled. Many have overcome their disabling conditions to participate in and become competitive in a wide variety of recreational activities and competitive sports. We will share examples and stories that will astound, and arouse the emotions. We will explore and debunk the many myths and stereotypes that prevent people with disabling conditions from being fully integrated into mainstream sports, recreational, and educational opportunities. We will also be joined by Erin Rice and Dawn Willard-Robinson of the Pine Tree Society, who will help us understand how to adapt games, equipment, and recreational activities to accommodate people with a wide range of disabilities. Finally, we will speak with Steven Tremblay, the retired Founder and President of Alpha One. Steven was an elite level hockey player in high school and college before he broke his neck in a freak accident at the start of his senior year of college that left him paralyzed from the chest down. This
will be an exceptional and memorable show, and one that everyone involved
in youth sports, interscholastic sports, and recreation will not want to
miss.
