            We invite you to the lecture held by Dr. Mira Shaved, Izrael. It will take place on 20th J
            5.30 PM, room R126.


            Anotation:
            I will present the key findings and implications of my doctoral research, The Role of Soci
            Socio-Economic Development of Families with Profound and Multiple Disabled (PMD) Children.

            introduces the CHIT model, a unique framework designed to empower and strengthen social ca
            inclusive, ability-focused practices within families and communities.


            I will discuss how the CHIT model, developed through Adapted Physical Activities (APA), en
            build stronger internal bonds (bonding social capital), connect with broader community net

            social capital), and gain access to opportunities for socio-economic empowerment. The lect
            highlight the model’s versatility, demonstrating how its principles can be applied across 
            beyond sports, including education, rehabilitation, and community development.


            Additionally, I will showcase some of my ongoing projects that exemplify the practical app
            the CHIT model. These include the creation of adaptive sports kits, collaboratively develo

            with intellectual disabilities and their distribution to rehabilitation centres and famili
            initiatives not only foster inclusion and empowerment but also create meaningful connectio
            diverse populations.


            Through this lecture, I aim to illustrate the transformative potential of the CHIT model a
            with the values of interdisciplinary research and community engagement.
