ON SNOW CLINIC CONTENTS: 1: 3 Track 2: 4 Track 3: Visually Impaired Guiding 4: Teaching aids and other disabilities 5: Mentally Challenged 6: CSIA Progression

DISABLED SKIERS NOTE: Disabled skiers must be able to teach their own disability function, but must also be able to teach, detect and correct all the skiing functions. To demonstrate these other functions another demonstrator can be used. ALL PARTICIPANTS MUST ATTEND ALL SESSIONS. DIFFERENT WAYS OF RUNNING CLINICS: 1. Specialized disabilities (Basic skiing and body contact tools should be used in all clinics) 2. NO SNOW! Use indoor facility. Use floor to go through normal procedures minus skis and boots, walking through maneuvers. 3. Dryland: Outside use a slope if possible. Practicum can be done dryland e.g. Blind going through practical experiences of putting on boots, skis and walking etc. MAKE UP OF CLASSES: Class 1 Level 2 and up CSIA and Experienced Instructors of Disabled Skiing. Class 2 Professional personnel in medical field. Class 3 Good skiers and Level 1. Class 4 Others (including non skiers, volunteers) keep volunteers involved. WORK TO THE LEVEL OF CLASS Class 1 Work on more detailed skiing and disabilities. Class 2 Work on teaching and skiing maneuvers, as they understand disabilities. Class 3 Work on teaching and skiing maneuvers and disabilities. Class 4 Break down to very basic skiing (these people are very important in many areas - Do not discourage anyone from helping. INSTRUCTORS SHOULD BE AWARE OF: 1. Know your own capabilities a) Skiing b) Teaching c) Knowledge of disabilities d) Knowledge of yourself patience, panic level etc. 2. When in doubt work slowly and safely work on basics 3. If you feel you can not handle student a) Discuss situation with program co-ordinator b) Switch students for awhile or permanently c) Go in for a coffee d) Ask for feedback from student to see what he/she is learning 4. Keep a personnel record of lessons (problems, gains etc.) and refer to them when similar situations arise. 5. If you panic (anyone can), best to change student.

Many students challenge their instructors; so don t feel bad if you take on more than you bargained for. Do something about it before you or your student has an accident. WHAT SKIING DOES FOR THE DISABLED: 1. A form of healthy outdoor exercise 2. Integration into normal society 3. Social 4. Family sport 5. Fluid mobility because motion is given to them by the slope of the hill. You don t need to be able to walk to ski. Try to get families involved in skiing encourage lessons. Always know your student s name. DISABLED AND SKI AREA: Program co-ordinators should know procedures at ski area and pass them onto the instructors and disabled students. If you do not know policies e.g. lift lines, blind bibs, stopping lifts etc., check before going out. Always be diplomatic. Most areas are willing to help the disabled, but don t take advantage of your privileges. ITEMS TO CHECK ON: CLOTHING: BRACES: NO FEELING AMPUTEES GOGGLES & SUN GLASSES Mitts, hat, scarf, adequate ski clothing Pad under braces well, as braces will conduct cold and rub skin. Some people may have no feeling or very poor circulation, check Them often. Watch for frostbite. Pad stumps and if wearing prosthesis, check often. To prevent injury to stump use cardboard or professionally made protectors. Are important when sunny. Best to train student to wear them at all times. A MUST FOR VISUALLY IMPAIRED. ON HILL SESSION: 1. Basic Skiing: This is very important. All advanced techniques stem from the basics. (It is hard to teach if you don t understand the basics) EMPHASIZE: a) Demonstrations b) Running through maneuvers c) Brief explanations d) Detection and correction of mistakes e) Mileage on skis (you learn by skiing, not by standing around)

2. Body Contact Tools: To be used when needed. This is another form of correction and They are confidence builders for the student. (Refer to CADS manual) a) Long pole b) Short pole c) Holding ski tips d) Rope harness e) Turning person on hill f) Pushing on flats or traverse g) Skiing backwards holding ski tips, body, hands or poles h) Picking someone up after a fall i) Holding body, hips, back, arms j) Holding person between legs (front or back) FIRST AID: Practicum is important in this section. Have students pair up and run through most of these. Some of these may have been included in basic skiing. Emphasize again Every ski area has ski patrol and some have a resident doctor. 1. Know where first aid station is located 2. Check with station for procedures 3. Taking a first aid course is beneficial 4. Don t panic - accidents do happen 5. Tell the ski patrol when you are in their area 6. Invite them to your sessions to observe First aid and your student: Program co-ordinator should have the following information: a) Phone number of parents, spouse etc. b) Phone number of doctor c) Phone number of hospital d) Detailed description of disability and medication (look for people that bruise easily, they could have internal bleeding) ITEMS TO CARRY WITH YOU ON THE HILL: 1. C clamps and nylon rope 2. Tape (adhesive, fibre glass) and knife 3. Bolts or spring clips tools (screw driver, wrenches, pliers) These items help the instructor WORKING WITH THE DISABLED: Adjust your teaching to the ability not the disability.
