She completed her undergraduate (bachelor of physical and health education, 1981) and graduate (master of science-exercise science, 1985) education at the University of Toronto, Canada. With more than 20 years of experience in adapted physical activity, she focuses on providing physical activity opportunities that include individuals of all abilities. Her activities emanate from a strong belief that all individuals have the right to enjoy the active-living lifestyle of their choice and that people with disabilities should not be required to seek "specialists" or "special facilities and programs." MICHELLE G. FREELAND is a rehabilitation engineer. She graduated from the University of Illinois in 1995 with a master of science degree in rehabilitation engineering. Since graduating, she has worked in service delivery programs to ensure that people with disabilities have knowledge about and access to the technologies and assistive devices that can enable them to fully participate in all aspects of community life. She worked initially with the Breaking New Ground program at Purdue University to deliver rehabilitation engineering service throughout Virginia in conjunction with the Virginia Department of Rehabilitation Services.
