#AUSAdapts

At Paralympics Australia, Our Squad are champions at adapting.  Adapting to changing circumstances is in our DNA. 

Developed by Paralympics Australia, the #AUSAdapts ‘I CAN’ challenge​ starts on Monday 20 April across our digital channels.

Is there a recipe you’ve been wanting to try, a book you’ve been waiting to read, or do you want to commit to ‘find your 30’ each day?

Whatever your goal, let’s make the time to turn that ‘I can’t’ into an ‘I can’… together!

1. Think about something you’re good at and enjoy.

2. Think about something you haven’t mastered yet.

3. Now, set yourself a goal to turn that CAN’T into a CAN e.g. skipping from 5min, perfecting a recipe, reading a book, walking for 5min each day.

4. Snap a pic or video of your progress and tag @ausparalympics (or post it to our Facebook page)  and use #AUSAdapts.

Join us on our #AUSAdapts challenge and let’s show the world how #AUSAdapts!

We’ve heard putting pen to paper is great for relaxation, so we’ve created several templates for you to lose yourself in! Simply print out our Lizzie Colourful Creations and colour them in with pencils, crayons or paint – whatever you prefer.

We’d love to see your colourful creations – share them with us on Facebook by posting them to our Page, or tag us on Twitter or Instagram using @ausparalympics. Have fun!
