Webinar Description:

Mixed Ability  Sport presents an exciting opportunity to engage EVERYONE in sport and recreation, no matter age, experience, or ability. Innovative variations within existing sports allows for full inclusion, not only for individuals with disabilities, but also for those returning to sport, newcomers, and any individual in our communities.

Mixed Ability Sport differs from able-bodied, Special Olympics and parasport, in that it uses the inclusion components of these to maximize participation for individuals of any background or ability without classification, divisions or labels. Enhancing existing program offerings within clubs, communities, municipalities and schools, Mixed Ability Sport provides a foundation for everyone to actively participate together, and to share in the benefits that sport brings.
