ADAPTIVE
Adaptive Alpine Certification Standards
The PSIA adaptive certification standards are based upon the knowledge and application of information gained from the PSIA alpine manuals and the PSIA Adaptive Manual (PSIA, 1997). Additional disability knowledge from medical, organizational, and disability resources is also required.
Standards encompass the alpine certification requirements (shown on the PSIA website) and include the disability, medical, and special equipment knowledge and understanding, enabling an instructor to work with special populations at each certification level. Adaptive classifications include:
- Visually Impaired
- Cognitively-related Disabilities
- Three-Track
- Four-Track
- Mono-ski
- Bi-ski
