Welcome to the Center on Disability Health and Adapted Physical Activity Homepage
Welcome to the Center on Disability Health and Adapted Physical Activity (Center) website. The Center consists of a wide array of on campus and community-based programs offered through the Department of Exercise and Sport Science within the College of Science and Health at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse campus. Since it’s inception over 30 years ago, the center has established itself as a vital partnership between UW-La Crosse and the Coulee Region.
The predominant mission of the Center is to conduct a variety of quality physical activity/education programs serving children, youth, and adults with a wide array of disabilities from the Coulee Region. Modified instruction in specific physical activities is provided to participants that may not be available in the general community.
The Center also serves as an interdisciplinary professional preparation site for preservice teaching majors from physical education, adapted physical education, and other disciplinary academic areas. The Center encourages and pursues linkages between program staff and other professional personnel/constituencies to illustrate the importance of collaborative efforts necessary to improve the psychomotor, cognitive, and affective states of persons with disabilities.
