Leadership

We strive to prepare future professionals for a career in adapted physical education through program development, research, writing, and presenting at conferences.

Scholarship

IMSVI is supported through external government grants and donations. This support allows us to facilitate research with students and internal/external faculty. Our research findings are distributed in publications (both nationally and internationally) and through presentations.

Education

We provide opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students to learn how to teach, research, write, and present. IMSVI also offers professional adapted physical education training for faculty, teachers, and parents.

Programming/Service Learning

We provide camps, after school community programs and service learning opportunities for children with visual impairments or deafblindness. Through a collaboration with Brockport students and local agencies, we develop adapted physical education programs for children with visual impairments or deafblindness.
