Engage your senses! This FREE event hosted at the Provo
Recreation Center includes exclusive activities for your entertainment. On
Friday, February 27, from 6-10pm, we are hosting the second annual
Adaptive Experience to spread awareness about programs and
services in the community for individuals with disabilities.
This event offers something unique
to anyone, regardless of age or ability. The community side of the Recreation
Center will include a wide variety of family-friendly experiences (including
kids’ yoga and tumbling tot demonstrations) and a room sponsored by Taste, where
you can indulge in fine chocolates and learn to sense their origin. Art projects, face painting, and sensory
activities will also be highlights.
Come try out wheelchair basketball (ages 10+), goal ball (a game for the visually impaired, ages 8+), and adaptive yoga and Tai Chi demonstrations. If your child does not meet the age minimum, simply drop them off in child watch while you give these activities a try.
At 8:30pm we will have a motivational speaker, Adam Lindsay, coach of the Jr Wheelchair Basketball team Utah Rush, to tell you the journey following his son's paralysis in an accident. The final activity for the night will be an exposition game featuring Utah Rush playing against our first ever Provo Parks and Recreation wheelchair basketball team! Come see what a competitive wheelchair basketball game looks like and support your first local team.
Interactive vendor booths include: Ability 1st, Costco, National Ability Center, Mountainland, New Leash on Life-Puppy Raising Club for guide dogs, Spectrum Academy, Therapy Animals of Utah, Utah Parent Center, and many more!
