TABLE FOR CONNECTION
Table for Connection provides some of the common disabilities and challenges (however not limited too) that program deliverers may be presented with and how they may fall into the Connecting Abilities Classifications.
Students or their parents and carers may disclose their diagnoses or disability. However if they do not, a program deliverer must always remain professional and not assume an individual has a diagnosis. It is important to refer to the Teaching Strategies and how the situation can be improved for the best learning aquatic environment.
