On Friday, the Office for Civil Rights of the U S Department of Education issued a Dear Colleague Letter providing guidance on the responsibility of school districts to provide equal access for children with disabilities to extra-curricular sports activities.
You can read the letter clarifying student's rights under §504 here. A blog post by Secretary Duncan, a former professional basketball player, may be reviewed here. The action was prompted by a June 2010 study by the Government Accountability Office concerning obstacles to participation in sports by children with disabilities. The GAO report is available here.
Having some kind of activities can help to boost our self and help our body for good.
