title: [Training of supervisors for sports for the disabled (author's transl)].
abstract: There are only a few qualified supervisors for sports for the mentally handicapped although they are greatly needed. The Deutsche Caritasverband (association of German catholic welfare organisations) has now developed a training programme for sports supervisors which follows the training regulations of the Deutsche Sportbund (a German sports association). It is intended for all interested in working with the disabled. The whole training course consists of 180 hours. It is devided into a basic and an advanced course, each lasting one week of 75 study hours. Between these two courses the attendants are obliged to study at home and to observe and work with groups of disabled for at least 30 hours. The studies mainly focus on the two subjects "sports for the physically handicapped" and "sports for the mentally handicapped" and lead to the sports supervisors certificates A or F of the Deutsche Behindertensportverband (a German association for sports for the disabled).
