We invite you to attend our Vision Connection session this spring, during which you can learn about several different adaptive sports organizations in Washington. At the end of the event, you can choose to go on a guided walk or run - we have reached capacity for participants for this experience.
Some of the participating organizations include:
- United in Stride - connects blind and low-vision individuals with guides for outdoor activities.
- Chris Jeckel from Touching the Sky - a Documentary. This documentary follows a blind man as he rediscovers a sense of play through acroyoga.
- NW Association of Blind Athletes - provides over 20 different sports to individuals of all ages with visual impairments.
- Outdoors for All - provides instruction and outdoor activities to people with disabilities. They are best known for their snow-based activities.
- Adaptive Yoga - provided through the Department of Services for the Blind (DSB) and led by Alice Klein.
- Rainier Adaptive Sports - specializes in providing a mix of sports and recreational opportunities.
- Jenelle Landgraf, MSW, LICSW from Peaks and Valleys Healing - incorporates mind-body practices into her work as a mental health clinician.
- Seattle Adaptive Sports – connects athletes and the community with opportunities to compete, learn, and grow.
