Athletic Director, Ryan Peters, Director of Pupil Services, Lauren Broderick, and Director of Equity, Kevin Houchins collaborated on a presentation to Beachwood coaches to discuss the needs of Beachwood students who are differently-abled. With so many coaches today coming from outside of education, we felt it was important to inform our coaches about best practices when dealing with differently-abled student-athletes. Opening the lines of communication between our coaches and special education staff will go a long away toward creating a more inclusive environment for student-athletes who are differently-abled. We plan to offer the training yearly.
