Document Summary
Canadian sport policy goals are: enhanced participation, enhanced excellence, enhanced capacity and enhanced interaction. Affecting factors of choice: time availability, age of participants, readiness of participants, capability of teacher, funding. Pros: improve attitudes and acceptance, increases social interaction, learn behaviours from normal peers, increases self esteem, greater educational benefits. Making the adjustment: factors that affect the way an individual adapts to his/her environment include intelligence, physical appearance, temperament, degree of disability, and environment, parent reaction is a large impact/barrier. Can have shock, denial or grief, impact on normal family cycle and can have a fear of the future. Need support/education within medical community, support groups and family/friends: sibling reaction can have an impact too. Guilt, fear or resentment (mostly in young kids) Mainstreaming provides opportunity to interact and can lead to acceptance, but kids suck so they need to have an understanding of the disability and possible reverse mainstreaming: teacher/leader reaction. Need to understand disability and their own limitations.
