The sensation of whizzing down a mountain is something many of us take for granted, but without the help of several Quinnipiac students and faculty, it would be limited to the imagination of kids with disabilities. Nicole Napolitano, a health sciences major, left, and Christina Ast, a physical therapy major, right, wanted to ensure kids like Ian Coyne, center, could feel the wind in their hair while navigating down the slopes. “Skiing alongside the kids down the mountain and observing their happiness through their smiles and cheer is something I would not trade for the world,” Nicole said. Twenty-five students, faculty and alumni volunteered this winter to teach 20 children with disabilities learn how to ski throughout a seven-week program through the Connecticut Children’s Medical Center called Skiers Unlimited. “It’s great for our students to see the kids in a holistic manner and just having fun like the others,” said Occupational Therapy Professor Martha Sanders. “It’s really one of the goals of therapy that we rarely get to see.” Our involvement has become a beloved University tradition spanning nearly two decades.
