http://bit.ly/ALopezAM Professor Lopez, the Chair of the New York Tech Department of Occupational Therapy is bringing his Inclusive Sports Fitness approach to New York Tech, and has started that with the Vocational Independence Program students. This past year, Professor Lopez and several Occupational Therapy students have met three times per week with our VIP students in a science-based fitness initiative that works on not just fitness, but their sensorimotor, social, emotional, and cognitive abilities as well. We will be continuing and expanding this relationship in the coming years. #nyitvip #newyorktech #inclusivesportsandfitness

Stay safe, stay strong, and stay connected. Happy and healthy weekend to all! #nyitvip #newyorktech #collegelife #transitionprogram #learningdifferences #staysafe #stayconnected
