muscular strength, flexibility, balance and aerobic conditioning. Step 1 - Prepare
Yourself
This progression is to, as the title says, to set yourself up to the activities. You ought
to be readied while you read to have a go at something you believe is opportune.
Make sure there is enough adequate spacing between everyone. Presently, you are
prepared to begin. This second step is essential: It's the base to learn air bend. You
need to end up one with air. Remember: there is no partition amongst you and the
air. Attempt to envision the air like your fingers or whatever other piece of your
body - It's a piece of you. What you do is to take couple of full breaths and focus on
the task at hand. Last step Move it Presently you have built up a decent vitality
interface. You can feel the air. You are unified with it. Now, as said prior, you may
see a solid sentiment control over the air. It resembles if you look at your hand and
are certain that the following minute you are going to move it. This may bring about
even arbitrary responses of your body: you attempt to move the air and all of a

sudden your hand pushes ahead. At the point when these arbitrary developments
happen, you simply need to unwind and attempt to sense the air better. They
happen simply because you are excessively energized and you have, making it
impossible to quiet down.

Leadership considerations: The CTRS would functions as a supervisor for this

activity. The CTRS would aid chi instructor in demonstrating air bending techniques.
During this activity there must at least 2 interns on site during this activity to aid
with demonstrations. The staff to participant ratio should be 1:1, 3:8, 4:12. This
activity requires a lot of abnormal slow movement and involve the stretching of the
muscles and elongation of of those muscle fibers . Given that this is relaxation
activity safety protocols are at a minimum which mean this activity shows low risk
for casualty and or damage to staff, participant or facility.
Adaptations: Participants with paraplegia: paraplegia is an impairment of the lower
extremities which causes one to become wheelchair bound. The adaptation for tai
chi would be in chair exercise with an exercise ball between the legs of the
participant with bands locking the legs together this allows the body to stabilize
and maintain balance while performing the exercise. In the past a major issue was
participants slipping and falling out of their chairs so the CTRS had to pay to pay
special attention at all times to make sure there were no incident to prevent any
casualties but small modifications and adaptations such as these allowed
participants to maintain and become more independent while performing their
activity.
Participants with Autism: Autism is a mental condition develop early in childhood
this causes the child to have developmental delays which affects communication
and creating significant relationships with others. The Adaptation that is used to aid
those diagnosed with autism is hands on demonstrations allowing the participant to
do shadow movements aids them in the process of following each technique . the
participants learn over time mimicking each movement made and mastering them
gradually making the movements one with themselves. The CTRS must make sure
to keep them on track given that they can get easily distracted and start to doing
other thing distracting others.
