In Costa Rica, there is a non profit organizatoin that takes children with children with disabilities such as quadriplegia, muscular dystorophy and spina bifida to teach them to surf, play with them on the beach, take them on nature rides, and care for them for an entire week. This organization does all of this while the parents are away on their own vacation so that they can relax and enjoy themselves.
Excellent training on disabilities on surfing would be required of the staff to ensure proper instruction; certifications in CPR and first aid are a must as well.

Although I couldn't find any tips on how to facilitate adapted surfing (probably because there is specialized training and certification required), I did gather that there are lessons required that are adaptable and progress at a pace appropriate for each individual.
