    Relationships Between International Sport Federations and International Disability Sport

    Relationships Between International Sport Federations and International Disability Sport Northeastern University’s Center for the Study of Sport in Society Disability in Sport www.sportinsociety.org Introduction Sport opportunities for people with disabilities worldwide have traditionally been organized by disability rather than sport. International governing bodies for sport for people with disabilities include organizations such as the International Committee for Deaflympics (CISS) for the deaf, Special Olympics International for persons with intellectual disabilities and the International Paralympic Committee traditionally for persons with physical disabilities and since 1992 also for persons with intellectual disabilities. The histories of CISS, SOI and IPC are unique and in many respects more dissimilar than similar. What they do have in common is the reason for their creation: to offer opportunities in a segregated setting that were not being met by the able bodied sport system. Organizational Histories Paralympic sport began in the 1950s with a desire to re-integrate persons with disabilities into mainstream society and for over fifty years this issue has held a significant place within disability sport’s growth and development. Sir Ludwig Guttmann included sport and recreation into his rehabilitation programs at the Stoke Mandeville Rehabilitation hospital precisely to encourage the inclusion of war veterans into mainstream society and it was the games that he held that became the genesis for the Paralympic Games. The International Olympic Committee has signed two agreements with IPC confirming IOC financial and organizational support for the IPC and securing and protecting the organization of the Paralympic Games (Hums, Wolff & Legg, 2003). Special Olympics began in 1968 when Eunice Kennedy Shriver organized the First International Special Olympics Games in Chicago.

Sport- and Event-Management, Private University Castle Seeburg, A-5201, Austria Abstract: The slogan “Sport for All” as a program of TAFISA (The Association For International Sport for All) is an invitation for all target groups and target persons in all societies worldwide to be active in sports, to organize and to create sport activities with a variety of aims. Integration and inclusion are strategies to open the world of sports for people with disabilities or a migrant background as well. Families, politics, the management within companies and all citizens are in responsibility. The development of Sport for All depends on various dimensions, e.g. the different kinds of sport, target groups and aims/motives. Key words: Kinds of sport, target groups, integration and inclusion, dimensions of sport development. 1. Introduction programs—being very different in concept and reality from region to region, from country to country, The following article is a statement to the current between sport federations and sport providers. discussion with integration and inclusion in focus.

  • USA Games Advancement Criteria

    USA Games Advancement Criteria

    Supplemental Document to Athlete Nomination Criteria Introduction: Once every 4 years, Special Olympics athletes in the United States are provided the opportunity to represent our country at the highest level of competition - World Games (respectively for Summer & Winter Games)! Undoubtedly, one of the highest levels of privilege and opportunity for any Special Olympics athlete. In theory we would like to believe that consideration for selection for a World Games event should be afforded to every Special Olympics athlete. However due to many factors and considerations there is a need to better “screen” athletes who are selected to ensure that each athlete, coach, management team member and volunteer can achieve the best experience possible. Factors/considerations that make the World Games experience not only unique but challenging; • Length of Games – the World Games experience can involve anywhere from 18-21 days. The length of time required depends on the location of the Games and the pre-Games experience. For many Special Olympics athletes, this length of time away from home can prove to be a challenge. • Time Away from Parents/Family – Because of the structure of the U.S. Team, athletes chosen can expect to be away from their families for extended periods of time without seeing them and at times, with very limited contact. For some athletes this can cause stress and anxiety. • Adjusting to New Coaches – Coaches selected for the U.S. Team come from all across the country and it is rare for a World Games athlete to already know one of these coaches. Can the athlete adapt to a new coach? • Conform to the Group/Adaptability – In order for the U.S.

    CHAPTER-4 Physical Education and Sports for CWSN

    CHAPTER-4 Physical Education and Sports for CWSN (Children with Special Needs) 4.1 AIMS & OBJECTIVES OF ADAPTED PHYSICAL EDUCATION Adapted Physical Education is a science of developing, implementing, and monitoring a designed physical education instructional programme for an individual with a disability, based on a comprehensive assessment, to give the learner the skills necessary for a lifetime of rich recreation, leisure and sport experiences to increase physical fitness and wellness. Adapted physical education is physical education that is individualized and specially designed to address the needs of students with disabilities who require adaptations or modifications to be physically active, participate safely, and make progress toward the standards for Health, Safety, and Physical Education. In simple words, we can say the physical education program designed for individuals with disabilities is called adapted physical education. The program is adapted to meet the needs of each student through modifications and accommodations. According to Auxter, D., Pyfer, J. & Huettig, C. “ Adapted physical education is the art and science of developing and implementing a carefully designed physical education instructional program for an individual with a disability, based on a comprehensive assessment, to give the individual the skills necessary for a lifetime of rich leisure, recreation, and sport experiences”. Adapted physical education is used to emphasise the importance of understanding the scientific bases of human development as it bring into relations to teaching appropriate concepts and practices in the adapted physical education program which will serve to maximize the quality of life among individuals with disabilities. Adapted physical education is clear that practices that influencing exercise, fitness, diet and nutritional status can significantly impact the quality and duration of life of an individuals with disabilities.
