Outreach Programs
Individualized Sports Skills Program
The University of Rhode Island's Department of Kinesiology offers an endorsement in Adapted Physical Education as part of their pre-professional teacher education program. An integral aspect of the APE program is its distinguishing and influential hands-on learning experiences. URI is the only university in the state which offers the Individualized Sports Skills Program, a once-a-week physical activity program offering aquatics and recreational-based activities for children and adolescents with special needs. In this program, URI students work one-on-one or in small groups with children aged 6-16 on various physical activities, including formulating and implementing actual Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) throughout the 9-week program.

The University of Rhode Island Dietary Education and Active Lifestyle (UR-IDEAL) study was started in 2007 under direction of Dr. Delmonico, a faculty member in the Kinesiology Department and Dr. Lofgren, a faculty member in Nutrition and Food Sciences Department. Our focus mainly on increasing physical activity and implementing nutrition education programs for overweight and obese older adults.
