'It's a reward': Local U.S.A figure skater leading adaptative skating program 'Glide to Growth'
CHICAGO -- A local high schooler competing for team U.S.A is also running a nonprofit to share her love for ice skating.CBS 2's Audrina Sinclair said it's who this Amy Ji serves, at Centennial Ice Rink in Wilmette, and how it's impacting them that caught her attention. Even if it's only once a week for 30 minutes, here on the ice, nothing else matters for 8-year-old Becca who has autism.
'There can be huge physical and mental benefits,' Ji said. 'Basically it really impacts the central nervous system. The way that we tilt, that we rotate all the movements on ice help balance thus it really helps them with the upper and lower body movements.'Ji learned about the intersection of figure skating, neuroscience, and social well-being during a research project at the University of Chicago Lab School.
