TeleBright Supports Rehabilitative Solutions for Disabled Veterans
Snowmass, Colo. – Friday, February 23, 2007 - Disabled American Veterans - Thanks in part to the support of TeleBright, more than 450 disabled veterans are expected to ski the Rocky Mountains at the 21st National Disabled Veterans Winter
Sports Clinic in Snowmass Village, Colo., near Aspen, from April 1-6. Recently wounded veterans
from the War on Terror will participate in the event, which is the largest annual rehabilitation event
of its kind in the world.
The clinic is open to all U.S. military veterans with spinal cord injuries or disease, visual
impairments, certain neurological conditions, orthopedic amputations or other disabilities, who
receive care at Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) health care facilities.
During the six-day program, veterans will learn adaptive Alpine and Nordic skiing and be
introduced to a variety of other adaptive activities and sports, such as rock climbing, scuba diving,
snowmobiling and sled hockey. The U.S. Secret Service will also teach a course on self-defense
for people with disabilities.
