About
Mission
The Fried Center for the Advancement of Potential (FCAP), (a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, tax-exempt organization) provides affordable, individualized medical fitness training to people with and without intellectual disabilities in an inclusive environment.
Model
- FCAP provides evaluation and one-on-one medically-based fitness training for individuals of all ability levels through a combination of physical therapy intervention, closed-chain functional exercise, and sports performance education.
- FCAP enables all clients to reach the CDC recommended 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity per week, with two days of resistance training, providing opportunity for those who lack independence with their exercise programs.
- FCAP delivers an affordable model primarily through hiring student interns in the field of health care to work with individuals with and without disability.
- Students seeking careers in health care gain valuable hands-on clinical experience.
