Physical Fitness for People with Disabilities
Posted by on November 04, 2013
I Can Do It, You Can Do It!
This mentoring program addresses the critical need for more opportunities for children and adults with disabilities to be physically active.
The President’s Council on Fitness, Sports & Nutrition recently announced the next phase of I Can Do It, You Can Do It! (ICDI). ICDI facilitates and encourages opportunities for all Americans, regardless of ability, to lead a healthy lifestyle that includes regular physical activity and good nutrition. ICDI previously focused on youth participation and was implemented nine sites across the U.S. Today, the program includes children AND adults with disabilities. The Council’s goal is to expand and implement the program in at least 100 sites nationwide over the next five years.
