Each person is unique and has a range of different needs and abilities. To support children who have a disability it's important that you:

• provide them with opportunities to demonstrate what they can do
• consider what modifications the club can make to rules, equipment and the environment that will address the child's needs and be manageable for the coach and the club
• communicate openly with everyone involved so informed decisions can be made
• develop an action plan; this involves identifying barriers that may prevent people from disabilities participating in your club's sport and devising ways of overcoming these obstacles
• promote your club's commitment to access and equity
