DCN Global's video: Sports and Disability Inclusion

Powered by Restream https://restream.io/ The integration and inclusion of athletes with intellectual disabilities into sports empowers the athlete, their teammates, and sports organizations at large. Through the work of organizations such as the Special Olympics the number of athletes with intellectual abilities has drastically increased in recent years. Despite the upward trend of persons with intellectual disabilities involved in sports, the training of their coaches has not grown at the same rate. This webinar will focus on augmenting the understanding and professional skills of coaches, teachers, practitioners, and all other stakeholders involved in sports for social good through discussing programs that are successfully working to address the needs of athletes with intellectual disabilities and to challenge the myths and stereotypes surrounding their abilities.
