Description
Students with disabilities experience significant barriers when attempting to access health and wellness activities. Typical barriers include:
•Individuals aiding individuals with disabilities lack awareness on how to involve them on teams.
•There are few opportunities and programs for training and competition for students with disabilities.
•Facilities are often not accessible.
•Information and services that promote health and wellness are not designed to consider the preferences and needs of youth with disabilities.
To assist youth with disabilities to participate in sports in the way they want and with whom they want to participate ODDC will support a project that will create and/or expand opportunities for youth with disabilities to participate in an inclusive sport program.
KEY ACTIVITIES:
•Increase access and opportunities to inclusive sports programs for students with disabilities.
•Increase communication pathways for students with disabilities and their families to help facilitate increased participation in inclusive sports programs.
•Actively engage the local community to help promote participation in inclusive sports programming.
