BREAKING DOWN
THE BARRIERS
MAXIMISE THE OPPORTUNITIES FOR DISABLED PEOPLE TO TAKE PART IN

• Do we need a slide here to explain what disability is – Who is included in this
• This opens eyes to those who may think disability is only physical and not behavioural
• Also we can explain many players in ‘mainstream’ clubs who may be deemed to be ‘slow learners’ or ‘difficult’ may be undiagnosed and in need of a more understanding supportive environment to play in
