    SPECIAL REPORT CANADIAN SPORT FOR LIFE FOR ATHLETES WITH A DISABILITY Integration of Persons LTAD for Athletes with a Disability in with a Disability Canadian Sport Prepared by Prepared by Dr. Colin Higgs, Professor Emeritus, Dr. David Legg, Memorial University of Newfoundland Mount Royal University, St. John’s, Newfoundland Calgary, Alberta 2 3 INTEGRATION OF PERSONS WITH A DISABILITY IN CANADIAN SPORT Prepared by Dr. Colin Higgs, Professor Emeritus Memorial University of Newfoundland St. John’s, NL, Canada www.mun.ca 4 Photo: Tyler Mosher, 2010 Paralympian 5 Abstract Canada has an outstanding record of achievement in sport for persons with a disability, and there are various explanations for this. Canada’s adoption of Long-Term Athlete Development (LTAD) models for all sports may be a contributing factor, as well as making National Sport Organizations (NSOs) responsible for the integration of persons with a disability into their sport development plans. Federal funding for NSOs is tied to their provision of sport opportunities for persons with a disability. There has also been a shift from the provision of sport opportunities by disability-specific groups to the provision of sport opportunities by sport-specific groups. This shift has significantly improved the sport technical support for athletes with a disability, but may be having the unintended consequence of making entry into sport by persons with a disability more difficult. Introduction Canada’s small population (approx. 30 million) has had a disproportionately high level of success in international competition for persons with a disability. Table 1 shows the medal results for Winter and Summer Paralympic Games from 1992 to 2010.
