“…Facilitators to inclusive physical activity included parental support, accessible facilities, available transportation, and welcoming and inclusive providers 23. While increased physical disability was often a barrier to participation,24 increased availability of adapted equipment was often a facilitator regardless of extent of physical disability 35. The included studies sought information directly from shareholders: parents, providers, and children and adolescents seeking to participate in inclusive physical activity.…”

Introduction: The purpose of this review is to map the literature regarding group-based inclusive and adapted physical activity opportunities for youth with disabilities, and to identify gaps in that literature. Methods: A comprehensive search was completed across 5 electronic databases. Inclusion criteria were for any study type with youth ages 3 to 21 years who participated in any adapted group-based physical activity program, or their caregivers. Results: A total of 30 studies were included from 13 countries, consisting of more than 15 types of physical activity. Levels of evidence ranged from 2b to 4 as per the Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine Levels of Evidence system. Conclusions: A small but growing body of evidence exists regarding group-based inclusive and adapted physical activity. A dearth of evidence exists for rurally residing programs and programs that include children with severe disabilities.

“…This would mean more children were able to compete and the issue of 'supply' for individual teams and competitions increased. Kanagasabai, Mulligan, Hale, and Mirfin-Veitch (2018) similarly argue non-competitive, adaptive sports for CwD could improve sport participation experiences.…”

This article explores the constraints to mainstream sports participation of children with disability in community sports clubs and schools through their lived experiences and the perceptions of parents, teachers, coaches, and club officials. It does so by administering an open-ended survey instrument to a sample of participants recruited from schools, sporting facilities, and disability organizations in New South Wales and Victoria, Australia. The data were analysed through a transdisciplinary conceptual framework which brought together the social model of disability (disability studies) with the leisure constraints framework (leisure studies), which have been encouraged by both academics and practitioners. The findings identified ableist and disablist practices, creating an enabled understanding of the facilitators for social inclusion. Participants perceived that interrelated intrapersonal, interpersonal, and structural constraints excluded children from their desired sporting activities. Through applying the social model of disability to the leisure constraints framework, the findings and discussion showed that a great deal of what had been considered intrapersonal constraints of the child with disability could be reinterpreted as interpersonal and structural constraints through enabling socially inclusive practices. The implications are that a social model of disability brings a new social lens to understanding constraints to sport participation for children with disability and can produce effective strategies for inclusion in sport at schools and community sport clubs.

“…At the same time, they are both crucial, given their direct contact with the children and their families. This is especially the case in relation to the provision of information on the possibilities in the local community, the opportunities for support, and by enhancing the personal attitudes of the child and the family towards PA [30].…”

Children and youth with disabilities participate less in physical activity (PA) than their peers. This qualitative multiple-case study aimed to assess how municipal practices support PA implementation for these children and youth. A total of 23 interviews were conducted, which covered participants from different departments and professional positions in two municipalities. Local policy documents were included. A thematic analysis was performed, which was based on Winter’s integrated implementation model and Gittell’s theory on relational coordination. The study findings indicate how PA implementation for children and youth with disabilities is a complex challenge that involves several departments and agents. The study demonstrates that having an explicit policy that focuses on parasport can positively influence organisational and interorganisational behaviour, and that coordinating consultants seem to play an essential role in PA implementation. However, there is room for improvement at the municipal level in order to promote a better overall performance in terms of the support for PA participation of children and youth with disabilities.
