The National Sports Center for the Disabled hosted a field day for about 100 students from Aurora Public Schools to help launch their new program.
National Sports Center for the DisabledThe group, based in Winter Park, provides therapeutic recreation, competition and adaptive sports for children and adults with disabilities. NSCD opened the space with a field day with more than 100 Aurora Public School students and launched its summer adaptive mountain biking program.
The NSCD will offer a variety of programs and lessons on-site in the spring, summer and fall, including mountain biking, road cycling and archery.“Last year, we served about 256 students. We provided anywhere from five to six different program experiences,” Taulman said. “We need to be healthy. We need to be socializing. We need to be out in the great outdoors, and people with disabilities are no different.
“It’s no cost to the schools and no cost to the kids to be able to come out,” Taulman said. “It was really focused on trying to really meet some of those inner-city kids and some of the kids that maybe really don’t have access to driving up to Winter Park.”
