Not all disabilities are visible, and many people develop disabilities as they grow older. These factors may influence the composition of your audience in future years. Inclusive, universally accessible activities contribute to a truly integrated community, where people of all abilities work and live together. Wellness and recreation activities are social occasions at which people enjoy themselves and make new friends. When people of different abilities and backgrounds come together, they can develop positive perceptions, break down barriers, and banish stereotypes.
Many modifications are often simple and inexpensive.
You may only have to move an activity to an accessible room with a doorway that is wide enough for a wheelchair. Or, you can show an individual how to perform an exercise differently or with adaptive equipment. You can also move equipment along the paths that already exist between equipment in your gym. Adaptive equipment is available for most activities, and prices vary. Together with the individual with a disability, decide what is needed.
