This is fantastic!
I'm so happy students at the UO now have more opportunities to learn about disability.
I'd like to offer up the City of Eugene Adaptive Recreation Services at the Hilyard Community Center to be of assistance as needed.
We already have a robust internship/practicum placement for students who wish to gain firsthand experience with disability outside of the healthcare or education systems.
We would love to work more closely with your student if possible.
Thanks and congratulations!
