Interscholastic Participation for Athletes with Disabilities Revisited: Are Today's Programs Doing Enough?
Journal of Physical Education, Recreation & Dance, v91 n2 p42-51 2020
The 2013 Office of Civil Rights Memo on extracurricular athletics brought attention to the idea that individuals with disabilities have a right to consistent opportunities to participate in sports programs provided by schools across the country. This article examines the key points related to participation along a continuum of opportunities by exploring what is currently happening in many states across the country to afford equal opportunities for athletes with disabilities at the interscholastic level. Recommendations follow to help program leaders continue to build on successful sport options offered in many states for athletes with disabilities.
