Students in the Ottawa Area Intermediate School District’s Young Adult Services program for those with special needs, ages 18-26, are learning how to be healthier thanks to a partnership with Special Olympics Michigan (SOMI).
“SOMIfit has been a wonderful opportunity for our students to gain health and fitness skills that can last a lifetime,” said Ashley Lenhart, a special-education teacher for Young Adult Services in Zeeland. “The activities have been adapted to meet our students’ individual needs allowing them to successfully participate and be active.”
