Mr Wolff Disability Sports Analysis

Ainsley Soli is a good person who does not belong here. At least, that is what she has been telling herself the last two years as she sits alone in solitary confinement in San Quentin State Prison. The only human contact she has had in the last 742 days is with the feral, monstrous guards that pay her a visit with a tray full of slop called prison food every day. She has not spoken one word since May 24, 2014. Sometimes she wishes she could speak, but there is no use talking when no one listens to what you have to say.

The hot headed and brass attitudes of the players and this documentary, does not take the typical approach to disability. Instead it takes a “wondrous” approach, “capitalizing on physical differences in order to elicit amazement and admiration” (Garland-Thomas 545). The viewers gain a feeling of respect and awe for the players because they “inspire the viewer by performing feats that the nondisabled viewer cannot imagine doing” (Garland-Thomas 545). Most people see disability as something that will never be recovered from, but this movie and these men challenge the viewer to see the strength behind

With the assistance of various techniques, the author of “The Scarlett Letter” Nathaniel Hawthorne, is able to successfully introduce and characterize several characters. In chapter 4 “The Interview”, Hawthorne is able to properly characterize both Roger Chillingworth and Hester Prynne. Throughout the duration of the scene the reader gains vital information and better understanding of the characters through Hawthorne’s use of point of view, dialogue, syntax and imagery. With the incorporation of the third person omnipotent point of view, Hawthorne allows the audience to characterize Hester and Prynne by providing details on the thoughts of the characters. The narrator in the third person point of view, opens up the chapter with a statement

Before visiting the Hospital for Special Care Adaptive Sports Program in New Britain, I did not realize all the hard work that goes into working in the adaptive sports program. At first I thought the adaptive sports program was for people who had difficulties playing sport and nothing more. However, after visiting the site, I was completely wrong. The tour guide informed us that the facility purpose is to modify equipment in order for people with certain physical limitation to enjoy the sport comfortably. He informed us that the players do not participate because they have to, but because they love the sport in and of itself. From hearing everything the tour guide was telling the class, I feel the inner pride in him. I realized that he truly loves his job because of the fulfilment he helps the clients achieve, for example gaining friends they can call family and building their confidence.

Imagine yourself in this situation, you are a kid with some sort of disability on a baseball team. When you’re on deck your couch tells the hitter walk, so you don’t even get a chance to try and all because of your disability. How would you feel? Humiliated? Week? You don’t even get a chance to prove yourself! To start off just because Romney is a cancer survivor does not mean he should be treated differently than the other kids, yes he may be weaker but they could have at least given him a chance to play a proper game. Romney's coach claims it was just a game strategy and it could help, but why did he have to make that choice when Romney was playing? Secondly yes it is a bunch kids playing, so it shouldn’t be taken too seriously, but yet

According to Disabled Spots USA, “National Handicapped Sports and Recreation Association renamed Disabled Sports USA in 1994. It has 91 chapters and 36 states in the United States. It gives sports and recreation programs not only the military people who get serious physical disabling because of their mission, but also people who have disability.” There are 303 million people, who have either mental disabilities or physical disabilities, living in the United States. “Disabled Sports USA provided sports and recreation programs to over 60,000 youth and adults who have some disabilities now according to Australian Paralympic Committee. ” Disabled people, who do some physical activity, are possible to spend happy life compare with disabled people, who did not do any activities. According to Disabled USA’ survey said, “The survey found that DSUSA Chapter Participants (CP) are twice as likely to be employed as the general population of adults with disabilities (68% vs. 33%). ”

This framework was created by Professor Peter Figueroa to analyse the sociology of access and equity to sport (Amezdroz et al 2010). It comprehensibly explains the issues and ideas surrounding equity, access and equality in sport and physical activity. This framework is highly useful in determining how inequalities can be challenged to improve the access, equity and equality an individual has to participate in sport (Amezdroz et al 2010). There are five levels of the framework, including; individual, interpersonal, institutional, structural and cultural, all prevalent throughout society (Amezdroz et al 2010).

I think that Mr. Wolff brought the ideas not only focuses on the small scale, accessible of disabilities to sports, but also encourages them to explore their potentials to join normal sports. This is a great insight, because most disabilities would restrict themselves with disability sports and consider themselves unable to compete with sound people. However, sometimes they can play the games better than others if they are willing to take a chance and not afraid of failure.

What everyone wants is to be with the incrowd, to be able to play sports, and to be treated like a normal person. People need to understand that those with disabilities are the same as everyone else. My understanding came in seventh grade gym class. We were in the middle of the floor-hockey unit, and my gym teacher was the assistant coach for the adapted team at the high school. She said, “If anyone wants comes to watch the adapted team today, they have a playoff game to qualify for state. You can get extra credit.” I thought, “Why not go? It’s extra credit and I didn’t even know what the adapted team was about.” Originally I thought that it was just like regular hockey team, but I learned wasn’t. When the team won, I saw that they were a real team, no matter their abilities; they truly deserved more attention than they received . The following year I decided that I wanted to manage the adapted teams.

Research, writing and design of the National Recreation Guidelines for the inclusion of people with disabilities into recreational opportunities

Whether a child has a disability such as blind, deaf, one-arm, in a wheelchair, autism, or FXS, they still should have the same opportunities as all other students. However, when including a child with a disability, it is important to note each child’s difference and how each one learn and communicated to be able to work with each individual and meet their needs. One must know the many ways to prepare a physical education program for inclusion and appropriate modifications and motor movements for the

Abstract: The Special Olympics not only give special athletes athletic skills, they offer more opportunity, encouragement, and dexterity to survive in society than the public school system alone. To understand the differences and similarities between handicapped athletes and their non-handicap peers is the first step in creating a program that best meets the child's needs. There were no community programs that catered to the mentally and physically challenged, so Eunice Kennedy-Shriver created "special games" in her back yard for her handicapped child. Shriver established the Special Olympics in 1968. Today there are more than one million special athletes competing in 140 countries. There are some problems with relying on the

Adaptive sports offer the disabled persons the chance to recreate, relieve stress, and even rehabilitate, if it's still possible for them. By playing these sports, they get to befriend other disabled people, and they establish more social contacts. Read this article and find out what are the adaptive sports for disabled

Schools are welcoming to students with a physical disability when it comes to Phy-Ed class and are promoting them to fully participate. According to scholars, students with physical disabilities are participating to the best of their ability when it comes to gym class. Some students are even going out of their way to use those same accommodations that the disabled student uses, in order to make them feel more welcomed. For example, some students that are unable to stand, use a wheel board that they can kneel on, and push themselves around with their arms in order to play soccer in the gym. Students who are fully abled bodies are choosing to use the wheel board rather than just walking/running, because it is more of a challenge, and it helps them understand what their peers are going through.

The handout and justification will outline the importance of inclusion, equality and the communication access rights of a person with intellectual disability (ID) in a gym. This is because a gym provide many benefits such as reduced chances of obesity and related conditions and better overall health status (Warburton, 2006).
