Coaching People with Different Types of Disabilities

If you are a coach, supervisor or team leader, supporting a person with disability to learn and play a sport may take more time and patience.  Here are a few tips to get you started. Remember everyone is different and everyone will need a different approach.

What you need to ask?

• What communication (verbal, visual, and demonstration) method is best for the individual’s learning
• What is the preferred communication method.
• Avoid assumptions about a person’s ability—ask before helping.
