“…Globally, studies on the relationship between aging and disability have primarily centered on issues like visual impairment (Cimarolli et al 2017;Laliberté Rudman et al 2016), hearing impairment (Kurková 2016), complex communication needs (Balandin 2011), andmental disorder (Van Schijndel-Speet et al 2014). Other research (Anaby et al 2009;Tang 2009) have concentrated on how specific cognitive, sensory, and physical impairments affect older person's social inclusion and how those findings could steer suitable interventions by rehabilitation specialists at the micro level.…”

Discourses on successful aging in modern times have emphasized older people's active participation in community life as essential to their independence and sense of fulfillment. However, in some country contexts, the goal of inclusion for older adults with disabilities is not feasible. The aim of this research is to explore the barriers to social inclusion faced by older persons with disabilities in Imo State, Nigeria. We adopted Heidegger's hermeneutic phenomenological inquiry and non-probability sampling methods. We utilized snowballing and criterion-based purposive sampling techniques to recruit 19 study participants aged 60 years and older, using face-to-face in-depth interviews for data collection. In accordance with the hermeneutic phenomenological research criteria of reflection, immersion, and categorization, data were analyzed thematically. Our findings show a lack of social inclusion and participation among older adults with disabilities, citing personal (negative self-concept and self-isolation), social (negative perceptions and attitude towards disability), and structural (poor access to buildings, transportation, and technology) factors as barriers. Strategies to leverage these factors to facilitate inclusive participation of older persons with disabilities in Nigeria are recommended.

“…However, when talking about students with disabilities, studies in inclusive education have demonstrated that physical education (PE) teachers present negative attitudes toward their inclusion, driven by a poor SE in meeting students' needs (Hodge and Elliott, 2013;Beamer and Yun, 2014;Reina et al, 2019a). This lack or poor professional preparation for facing the specific demands of people with disabilities has been identified as a barrier for promoting participation in physical activity and sports activities, including those with intellectual (Bodde and Seo, 2009;van Schijndel-Speet et al, 2014;Taliaferro and Hammond, 2016), physical (Buffart et al, 2009;Williams et al, 2014), visual (Jaarsma et al, 2014;Griffin et al, 2016), and hearing (Kurková, 2016) disabilities.…”

Due to the lockdown caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, e-learning suddenly spread to different levels of education, including university. In Spain, students of sports sciences are prepared during a 4-year study program to work in different areas (including physical education) and with different populations (including people with disabilities). The aims of this study were (1) to assess the effect of pandemic-driven online teaching on self-efficacy (SE) for the inclusion of people with disabilities in a group of university students enrolled in a compulsory course on adapted physical activity (APA); (2) compare the gains from SE before and after the APA course with a sample of students who followed the same course before the pandemic; and (3) explore the influence on SE scores according to three demographic variables: gender, previous SE training, and previous experience with people with disabilities. The study involved a sample of 124 university students (22.1 ± 2.6 years), distributed into two groups: prepandemic (n = 86) and pandemic (n = 38). They voluntarily completed the Spanish version of the Scale of Self-Efficacy of Physical Education Teachers of Physical Education toward Children with Disabilities, obtaining pre- and postcourse measurements. Due to the sudden lockdown, two-thirds of the pandemic course was taught online, and changes in the teaching strategies and tasks had to be made. Similar gains were obtained in both groups for the three subscales of the SE scale (p < 0.001, large effect sizes): intellectual, physical, and visual disability. No significant differences were found for comparisons between groups and the interaction effect of the course taught, nor for the three demographic co-variables. This study shows that teaching strategies that encourage student participation and reflections on learning increase student SE, regardless of the teaching format (i.e., face-to-face vs. online teaching). Moreover, the gains in SE are invariable to demographic co-variables.
