  • February 2007 I Just Returned from an Exciting Ten Days in Salt Lake City at the 16Th Winter Deaflympics (Deaf Olympics). I Coor
    February 2007 I just returned from an exciting ten days in Salt Lake City at the 16th Winter Deaflympics (Deaf Olympics). I coordinated the volunteer massage therapists for the Games. This was a perfect opportunity for me to utilize skills from both of my professions, as I have been a sign language interpreter for more than twenty years, and a massage therapist in private practice for almost three years. The Deaflympics began as the International Silent Games in Paris in 1924 and has become the largest international sporting event behind the Olympics. The International Olympic Committee officially recognized the Deaflympics in 1955. Deaf people, because they could not hear starting guns, whistles, and the like, could not compete fairly with hearing people at the Olympics. And, because the IOC considers them able-bodied, they were not allowed to participate in the Paralympics. As a result, the Deaflympics were given official status. Deaf athletes, by organizing their own Games, can also enjoy easy communication with each other, even if they come from other countries. Many countries' sign languages share some linguistic features with each other. Many foreign deaf people coming to the U.S. know at least some American Sign Language, so that plus the use of gestures, and the mere desire to communicate makes it rather easy to hold conversations with deaf people from all over the world! The Deaflympics is one way international friendships begin and a great way to strengthen one's sense of pride in Deaf culture. Salt Lake City, the location of the 2002 Winter Olympics, has the infrastructure in place to easily accommodate hundreds of participants, volunteers, and fans.

  • CHAPTER-4 Physical Education and Sports for CWSN
    CHAPTER-4 Physical Education and Sports for CWSN (Children with Special Needs) 4.1 AIMS & OBJECTIVES OF ADAPTED PHYSICAL EDUCATION Adapted Physical Education is a science of developing, implementing, and monitoring a designed physical education instructional programme for an individual with a disability, based on a comprehensive assessment, to give the learner the skills necessary for a lifetime of rich recreation, leisure and sport experiences to increase physical fitness and wellness. Adapted physical education is physical education that is individualized and specially designed to address the needs of students with disabilities who require adaptations or modifications to be physically active, participate safely, and make progress toward the standards for Health, Safety, and Physical Education. In simple words, we can say the physical education program designed for individuals with disabilities is called adapted physical education. The program is adapted to meet the needs of each student through modifications and accommodations. According to Auxter, D., Pyfer, J. & Huettig, C. “ Adapted physical education is the art and science of developing and implementing a carefully designed physical education instructional program for an individual with a disability, based on a comprehensive assessment, to give the individual the skills necessary for a lifetime of rich leisure, recreation, and sport experiences”. Adapted physical education is used to emphasise the importance of understanding the scientific bases of human development as it bring into relations to teaching appropriate concepts and practices in the adapted physical education program which will serve to maximize the quality of life among individuals with disabilities. Adapted physical education is clear that practices that influencing exercise, fitness, diet and nutritional status can significantly impact the quality and duration of life of an individuals with disabilities.

    STRATEGIC PLAN 2010-2013 International Committee of Sport for the Deaf 528 Trail Avenue Frederick, Maryland 21701 USA ‘Equality Through Sports’ ‘Per Ludos Aequalitas’ April 2010 Copyright: © 2010 International Committee of Sports for the Deaf This document has been produced by and it is the property of International Committee of Sports for the Deaf. This document, either in whole or in part, must not be reproduced or disclosed to others without the International Committee of Sports for the Deaf’s approval. 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1. Foreword Deaflympics is an exciting, vibrant and fast-growing sporting event which is accessible to those of almost every age, gender and physical capacity. International Committee of Sport for the Deaf (ICSD) oversees this prestigious event which has 104 member countries from all over the world and has many hundreds of thousands of individual adherents or athletes, coaches, officials worldwide. The underpinning of Deaflympics is in the Olympic movement of the world and this base level of participation provides a boundless source for our competitive and fast-pacing sporting event. It is still puzzling then to many observers, as to why Deaflympics and its recognised governing body, ICSD/CISS have not still been embraced more broadly by Olympics, Paralympics and other sporting organisations and the sporting public and media. The answer to this is myopia – the ICSD rested on the laurels of the inherent pluses of our prestigious Deaf Sporting events and therefore needs to act proactively in order to establish the distribution of diplomatic channels, media & marketing activities, leadership & partnership development programmes and infrastructure bases which are necessary to further determine our position and product.

    Dossier de presse Deaflympics 2013 Avant-propos Comité Olympique et Interfédéral Belge (COIB) Mesdames, Messieurs, C’est avec grand plaisir que nous sommes ici ce soir pour accueillir les athlètes et les accompagnateurs de la délégation belge qui participer ont du 26 juillet au 4 août au x Deaflympics à Sofia en Bulgarie. 5 athlètes et 9 officiels représenteront les couleurs de la Belgique. Il n’y a pas un an que les Jeux Olympiques de Londres ont eu lieu , que déjà l’été 2013 compte un bon nombre de compétitions multidisciplinaires de haut niveau. Je pense ainsi aux Jeux Mondiaux à Cali en Colombie, au Festival Olympique de la Jeunesse Européenne à Utrecht aux Pays -Bas et bien entendu aux Deaflympics. Nous pouvons être fiers que notre pays joue et a joué un rôle important dans beaucoup de ces événements sportifs tant de par sa participation que de par les structures. Je p ense à Jacques Rogge qui prendra sa retraite en tant que président du Comité International Olympique fin de cette année et aussi à Antoine Dresse, qui en 1924 était à l’origine des Deaflympics, une des plus anciennes organisations pour athlètes avec un handicap. Dans un instant, je donnerai la parole à Paul De Weerdt, le président du Belgian Deaf sport Committee. Il nous dira tout sur les Deaflympics à Sofia et sur la composition de la délégation belge. Les Jeux Olympiques pour sourds se sont développés en un événement sportif de haut niveau. Des milliers d’athlètes du monde entier démontrent avec ferveur que les sourds et les malentendants ont mérité une place dans notre société.
