The purpose of this proposed research is to quantify the impact of participation in an adaptive ski/snowboarding program on parent perceived and child self-reported health related quality of life. To this effect, the study will assess children's self-perception of psychological, emotional, physical health of participants as well as their parents perception of the same, through the use of a validated self reported quality of life questionnaire, KIDSCREEN-52, before and after participating in an adaptive ski/snowboarding program every year.
Primary Aims:
1. To determine the level of subject and parent satisfaction and happiness, through a composite of 10 aspects in a quality of life questionnaire, following participation in the Children's Hospital Colorado Hospital Sports Program (HSP) for one winter season.
2. To determine the long-term impact of repeated participation in an adapted ski/snowboarding program through a composite of 10 aspects in a quality of life questionnaire, following participation in the Children's Hospital Colorado Hospital Sports Program (HSP) for consistent winter seasons.
