Sports for children with disabilities

Sports therapy helps children with various disabilities to make porgress in medical and social aspects because of its beneficial effect to the functioning of the cardiovascular and respiratory system, as well as its proven strong emotional impact on children. Swimmimg and aquatic therapy, hippor therapy and other anima-therapies have porven effect on children with cerebral palsy, autism and metal disorders. However such activities are not supported by state fudning and many parents find it difficult to pay for such sessions in addition to all the traditional therapies and specialised equipmnet.  In Sofia, aquatic therapy and swimming lessons for children with disabilities are offered at the Levski-Spartak swimming pool by the "Waterway" foundation. Every child is offered an individual training program with varying intensity and frequency according to the child’s condition and abilities. Individual session for one child costs BGN15, a group session – BGN5. “Begach” running club has dedicated many marathons to this cause and is continuously supporting it.
