Isi artikel

This article examines what the concept of sport without disability might mean in the structuring of sports and sports settings to accommodate the participation of people with disabilities as serious competitors. Two of its main purposes are (a) to provide a lens for thinking about sports opportunities for people with disabilities that are strongly filtered by considerations of structure, choice, and fairness and (b) to suggest a set of sports models that reflect these considerations in a variety of sports opportunities that are appropriate for different types of people with disabilities. A broader purpose is to present concepts, facts, findings, and a rationale to help sports policy makers, organizers, and administrators to formulate more responsive and appropriate sports policies, rules, and organizations to accommodate people with disabilities.
