The Adaptive Skating HTX program teaches children (ages 3-18) with disabilities how to ice skate! The program is hosted by Rice University Adaptive Skating and held at Sugar Land Ice & Sports Center. Students receive 60 minutes of instruction with our volunteer coaches. We offer a 1:1 Student-to-Instructor ratio upon assessment. The estimated program cost is $120 for 6 weeks and includes FREE skate rental.

Our instructing team includes highly experienced skaters from Rice University, Baylor College of Medicine, Texas A&M School of Medicine, and UTHealth Houston!

No skating experience is necessary! Students must bring a helmet. We also recommend gloves, snow pants, a jacket, and non-plastic elbow/knee/butt pads. Because of our low student-instructor ratio and small, intimate classes, limited spots are available!

All interested participants should have physical mobility and verbal and/or non-verbal communication. Parents must be present at all times during lessons.

🌟STUDENT SPOTLIGHT🌟 Introducing our spectacular student Clark Nguyen! Swipe to learn more about his journey in Adaptive Skating HTX😊

———

Clark Nguyen is 8 years old and autistic. He has been an Adaptive Skating student since our first session in Spring 2023! Over the years, we have seen him grow in confidence, build social connections, and improve his skating skills.

Clark enjoys playing with interactive toys like bubble guns and rubber ducks on the ice! When he is skating, he is able to learn and grow in a healthy environment where he is not afraid to make mistakes.

According to Clark’s parents, he has struggled with building connections with others and finding an activity that was properly engaging in the past, but the Adaptive Skating program has been a perfect fit for him! Clark has the opportunity to interact with others while also learning new skills.

Being with Adaptive Skating for over two years, Clark continues to have meaningful interactions with volunteers who are eager to help him succeed.

His parents, Dai and Stacey Nguyen, are very grateful for Adaptive Skating. They appreciate the program’s affordability for parents and inclusivity for children with developmental disabilities. They love how the program has allowed Clark to engage with new experiences and stay physically active in a supportive and welcoming atmosphere.
