[Sportsandrec] Short Survey on PE and B/VI

[kosherpenguinkp at aim.com]

I am a graduate student atDominican College studying to become a TVI. I am conducting a research projectfor one of my classes. 
My research question is: What changes can be proposed to the currentsports program at a day camp for individuals who are blind or visually impairedto increase involvement/participation in sports and field game activities?
My hypothesis is: Training staff members in methods for modifying sportsfor students, who are blind or visually impaired, will increase student participation.

I would appreciate it if you couldtake a few moments and answer the survey below. Thank you for your help.
