The sporting codes offered are adapted for their participation at basic level and also for competitive level; this includes Special Olympics and Down Syndrome games based on individual ability.
Fiducia invites all youth and young adults with Down Syndrome and Autism to join their programme. The invite is also extended to family members and the community that can assist in the roll out.
A special appeal is made to people who have experience in coaching sporting codes, especially with people that are faced with intellectual challenges. The relevant sports codes are swimming, shot putt, standing long jump and 50 and 100 metre walks.
Join the planning meeting on Saturday, 12 May at West Park School at 1pm.
Fiducia is an independent organisation not affiliated to Down’s Syndrome SA or Autism SA.
