We do have some videos with 80s theme playlists too! Check out this one: ua-cam.com/video/4pIt0yKLSuY/v-deo.html. Maybe we have to do another 80s theme soon!

Apologies for that, feel free to check out some other similar videos with better sound on our channel by searching "Audio Described Seated Dance Aerobics"

You are right, there are a lot of different exercises that are called cherry pickers. This exercise is also referred to as a Russian Twist. What version did you grow up doing?

We are so glad you enjoyed it!

Like any sport or activity, ping pong can be made fully accessible with audible equipment, an accessible environment, and increased communication. Each individual might use different adaptations to play ping pong depending on their individual needs. a. Equipment: Blind athletes might choose to use a bell ping pong ball or bell tennis ball instead of a standard ping pong ball for audibility. Low vision athletes might find a larger, slower moving, high contrast ball like a tennis ball sized foam ball helpful. b. Environment: You can add tactile lines on the table tennis table to make it accessible. You can also add bells to the net to add audibility if you prefer. Some athletes also put a small sound source at the center of the table under the net to help with orientation. The sound source will provide a constant noise to help athlete locate the net and stay oriented toward the center of the table. Some low vision athletes find it helpful to add wider white tape to the table lines and yellow tape to the net to add contrast. c. Gameplay: Some athletes use a commentator on the sideline, who describes what is happening in the game in order to determine which move might be best to make. This increased communication can be helpful. It is always helpful to remember that, like any sport, it can take time for everyone to develop skills and find what works best for you. While there are no official blind ping pong leagues or competitions, many athletes play for fun in school, with peers, in the community, etc. like anyone else. Some athlete choose to play in local ping pong leagues and request accommodations as needed. Showdown, an official blind sport, is a mix of table tennis and air hockey, with rules and gameplay that are a mix of both. This sport is found in many communities around the US and world as a sport specifically designed for blind athletes.

All equipment mentioned in our videos can be borrowed from our Adapted Equipment Lending Library at no cost. If you are interested in playing ping pong, we would suggest borrowing both the bell ping pongs and bell tennis balls. This would give you some options when determining which might work best. You can view a full inventory of our equipment at nwaba.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/SAL_Lending_Equipment_Catalog_2024_2_14.pdf and complete the lending form by going to forms.microsoft.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=ZaHxxeJZG0u0zTlmPyob9L0JFu3mEc9AgZLpaLWMsNRUREhIQjI4RU1INkpRNlJWMlZQQTRGRzRFTy4u.

Thanks for reaching out, glad these have been helpful! To play volleyball with sighted peers, these are a few adaptations that can make the game more accessible: • Communication is absolutely key! Make sure you and your teammates talk before about how you all are going to communicate during the game. It can be helpful to have one person who is on the sidelines acting as a guide to commentate the game and provide directions on who should go for the ball, etc. to help minimize confusion. This person is going to be very helpful for everyone on the team as well. • You can have teammates wear a bell or other noisemaker, especially one that only makes noise when they move to help know where your teammates are. For volleyball, it can be helpful to have these on teammates ankles so they don’t interfere with gameplay. o These are only helpful if everyone is engaging in good communication • You can mark the court lines with string under tape, similar to a goalball court, so it is tactile under your feet during gameplay. • You can add a bell or beeping sound source to the net to help you to stay oriented. • Using a bell volleyball or beeping foam ball will be helpful and which you use is just personal preference. Some people do find it helpful to start out with a larger ball since it will be a bit slower moving and a larger target and then moving to a more standard sized ball when they become more comfortable. Overall, with any sport it is important to remember that it will take time and practice to get comfortable and develop proficiency so we encourage you to keep practicing and be patient with yourself and others because you will be able to make this happen! Some adaptations will work for some people and other people will find others work better so often times it is a matter of trying out different ones and finding what works best for you! Let us know if you have other questions!

You're so welcome!

You're welcome!

Hello Renee, thank you for your questions! To complete the IYT, you will stand in a comfortable position with your arms hanging down and palms of your hands rested on your thighs. This is the starting position for each of the exercises. For the ‘I’ position, you will lift your arms up to shoulder height. Your arms should be pointing directly in front of you. You can then return to starting position. For the ‘Y’ position, you will move your arms from starting position up to shoulder height, this time extending your arms out to diagonals. For the ‘Y’ position, your left hand will be further out 6-8 inches to the left, and your right hand will be further out to the right about 6-8 inches than it was for the ‘I’ position. You can then return to your starting position. The next position is the ‘T’. For this position you will raise your arms out to your sides up to shoulder height. Your left arm should be pointed directly to your left, and your right arm should be pointed directly to your right. This exercise could be incorporated into your upper-body strength exercises by repeating the sequence of I-Y-T 10 times. Over time, you can add weights or hold soup cans to increase the resistance. You can also increase the number of times you repeat the sequence.

@@nwaba1 thank you for the expeditious reply and I understand now.
