- Title
Traditional Sports and Games as a Means for Integration of People with Disabilities.
- Authors
Barrett, Ursula
- Abstract
Having opportunities to participate in sport and physical activity is a basic right of all, including the estimated 15% of the world population living with a disability (World Health Organisation, 2011). This article will explore the inclusion spectrum (Black and Stevenson, 2011), and how and why many traditional sports and games may be more suitable to integration along points of this spectrum compared to modern sports. It also explores the current barriers to integration of persons with disabilities and makes some suggestions on how these can be reduced through the delivery of traditional sports and games.
