There are more opportunities than ever before for young people with
disabilities to participate in sport and adapted physical
education. For example, there are more than 3.7 million athletes
worldwide aligned to the Special Olympics organisation, with
national associations active in more than 200 countries worldwide.
Despite this rapid growth, all too often coaches and teachers lack
adequate knowledge of the particular challenges faced by people
with intellectual disabilities. The principal aim of this book is
to improve the understanding and professional skills of coaches,
teachers, practitioners and researchers, to promote awareness of
successful programmes addressing the needs of such young people,
and to challenge the prevailing myths and stereotypes surrounding
their abilities. With contributions from leading researchers and
practitioners around the world, this book is the first to explore
in depth the topic of sport and intellectual disability from a
coaching perspective. Including both theoretical discussion and
empirical case-studies, the book covers a full range of
contemporary issues and themes, including training and coaching,
family support, perceptions of disability, athlete motivation,
positive sport experiences, motor development programmes, and
social and cultural aspects of disability. Sport Coaching and
Intellectual Disability is important reading for any student,
researcher, coach, teacher, manager or policy maker with an
interest in disability sport, physical education, coaching, or
mainstream disability studies.
