Disability Sport focuses on moving athletes from where to where? It focuses on ______ and has what type of programs?
- Entry level –> high level
- Competition
- Elite athletic development Programs
In adapted sport, sport opportunities and organizations are tied to ____ systems. Rules are more likely to be modified to address what?
- educational systems
- address players’ functional and skill development
Adapted Sport: Inclusive sport/recreation makes allowances for what?
environment and equipment to be modified to match students’ abilities
Classification: Both interesting and controversial. Few traditional sports classify athletes. What is the goal? What are the two systems?
Goal: create an equal playing field
Two Systems:
- Medical
- Functional
- Scores from both of these are combined
What are the advantages to Functional Classification? (5)
- Sport Specific
- Awards training and preparation
- Allows for cross-disability competition
- Reduces # of heats, trials, races
- Simplifies event administration
(eg. track has 44 classifications duplicated by sex - imagine if each disability had separate divisions!!!)
Disadvantages of Functional Classification? (3)
- Cheating
- May minimize effort during evaluation
- If you later demonstrate function during an event you will either be reclassified or disqualified
What happens if during your event you later demonstrate function?
reclassified
or
disqualified
- determine the sport of interest
- x-reference non-disability sport with counterpart disability sport
- look for similarities and differences in skill sets
1st Step in the Inclusion in Sport: Systematic Approach
- learn about rules and skills required for playing
- disability sports may have unique rules
- but many rules are the same
- know and practice rules before playing
- if you’ve experienced it you’ll be better equipped to facilitate inclusion
2nd Step in the Inclusion in Sport: Systematic Approach
- Identify functional level of participants
- consider classification systems
- use this to develop your own system that best fits the participants capabilities
- ensure activity is appropriate for participant skill level and functional performance level
3rd Step in the Inclusion in Sport: Systematic Approach
- implement the game
- place person with disability in a decision-making role
- consider all domains as you modify
4th Step in the Inclusion in Sport: Systematic Approach
When you modify a sport, what 4 domains should you consider?
- psychomotor
- affective/social
- emotional
- cognitive
What is FAMME?
Functional Approach for Modifying Movement Experiences: the game design model
What are the four steps to FAMME?
- Determine underlying components of skills
- Determine the participant’s capabilities
- Match modification efforts to capablities
- Evaluate effectiveness of modification
Game Design Model: Step 1?
Understand structure of game. All games have interactive components:
- purpose, players, movement, objects, organization, limits
Game Design Model: Step 2?
- Modify the basic structure
- Modify one component at a time
- changing one component forces change in another
- think of basketball example: changing the hoop to 2m high means you need to change how far you must be to shoot or kids would dunk on each other!
In step 2 of the game design model, you are modifying what component? How should you execute modification? What happens when you modify one thing?
- basic structure
- one component at a time
- changing one component forces change in another
Game Design Model: Step 3?
- Manage the game’s degree of difficulty
- challenge is to create modifications that satisfy all players
In step 3 of the game design model, what are you trying to manage? What is the challenge?
- Manage the game’s degree of difficulty
- challenge is to create modifications that satisfy all players
Sport is ____.

Look for the ____ in sport.
similarities
In sport, what should you be aware of?
