Students and student information
The Achievers welcome students of all disabilities. Our staff of volunteers have experience teaching skiing to many disabilities including visual impairment, cerebral palsy, spina bifida, paraplegia, amputation, Down's Syndrome, autism, hearing impairment and others. Our membership includes approximately nine PSIA adaptive certified instructors as well as alpine certified instructors. Our inventory of adaptive equipment includes mono-skis, bi-skis, a dual-ski and other assistive devices for disabled skiers.
In order for a student to go on a trip, the following items need to be done:
1. Become a member of Disabled Sports, Orange County
2. Return the Physician evaluation/release and Medical history forms (in Acrobat .pdf format below) to our membership chairperson after your physician has filled them out.
