Adapted Physical Activity Minor

Hi everyone,
After the hectic week of scheduling coming to an end and finally having a schedule set up for next semester, I can honestly say I am extremely excited for it. Since I could not get into many PE classes I was able to register for more classes in my minor. I decided to minor in APA and I can honestly say it is one of the best decisions I have made thus far in my life. I will be taking Assessment Techniques in APA, Adapted and Theueraputic and Program Design. I know these classes require a good amount of work and a lot of time outside of class but it is so rewarding.

I was well aware of the committment I was making when I decided to minor in APA but could not be happier with my decision. After taking Equine Assisted Activities, Intro to Adapted, and Adapted Aquatics, I can safely say I fell in love with this minor.

It is a pretty hefty minor since it is close to 30 extra credits but I highly suggest it to anyone thinking about minoring or even if you have any extra credits to take, take something else in this minor.

Adapted Physical Activity gave me a new outlook on not only education but on life as well. The clients that we have come in are all so unique and wonderful in their own ways. Yeah, they will have there bad days and be hard to work with, but don't we all? Usually I walk out of class, mentoring, or whatever else I am helping with, with a huge smile on my face and my day a little bit better. I truly believe that we are learning just as much from the clients as they are learning from us.
