Motor Activities Training Program (MATP) trains participants in aquatics (swimming), dexterity (track & field), electric/manual wheelchair (track & field), kicking (soccer) mobility (gymnastics), striking (softball), and team sports.
Some programs, including SOWV, refers to these events as “Developmental Events”.
MATP information
MATP can be incorporated through schools, group homes, residential facilities, and other community-based setting as needed. Local programs can utilize physical therapists, occupational therapists, therapeutic recreation providers and/or adaptive physical education instructors to identify and develop their MATP program.
