Disability

An individual with a disability may have difficulty taking part in certain sports. Three main types of disability are:

Mobility impairments

Mobility impairments

Some people are born with mobility impairments; some will acquire mobility impairments as they age or as the results of a disease or injury, such as a broken bone.

Sensory impairments

Sensory impairments

Examples include a significant reduction in sight or hearing.
Taking the example of sight, extreme cases can result in blindness but there are hundreds of thousands of people with vision impairments ranging from dry eyes to scratched corneas and more.

Mental health impairments

Mental health impairments

Individuals with mental health impairments have gone through psychiatric problems such as schizophrenia or personality disorders.

Disability - Integration and Adaptation

There is a debate about how best to include people with a disability in sports. There are two main approaches:

What is integration?

What is integration?

The main debate is whether disabled performers should be able to compete with non-disabled performers. This is called integration. Some benefits of integration are:
- Less discrimination (treating people worse because they're disabled).
- Less stereotyping.
- Fewer barriers to playing sport.

What are adapted sports?

What are adapted sports?

Adapted sports are sports that have been changed so that people with a physical disability can perform alongside individuals who don't have a physical disability.
Some people think that disabled individuals should only take part in adapted sports.
