Welcome to the FUNdamentals Program

This site is dedicated to the development of Physical Literacy in children with intellectual disabilities.

FUNdamentals is the second stage of the Long Term Athlete Development Program (LTAD), which falls under Sport Canada’s Canadian Sport for Life Initiative (CS4L). With the ultimate aim of promoting fitness, physical literacy, and well-being, the FUNdamentals component is driven by tenets of human growth and development of the 0 to 6 age group.

The objective of this site is to furnish parents, SO regions, teachers, educational assistants and others involved in FUNdamentals the resources necessary to deliver this worthwhile program. Currently we are working to bring the FUNdamentals program to various communities across Nova Scotia. The focus is currently on completing the "Active Start" pilot and implementation with the intention to pilot the FUNdamentals within the fall of 2011.
