Students have different levels of mobility, balance, strength, cardiovascular endurance, flexibility and joint range of motion. They may work one on one with a student assistant, work in small or large group. Once an assessment has been completed, students will be given a Personal Exercise Plan and begin working towards their class goals. Special adapted equipment may be used for the student's success.

Arthritis, Blindness and visual impairments, Brain injury, Cardiovascular and Respiratory conditions, Cerebral palsy
