Before I talk about the interview it is necessary to illustrate you with the differences in able body basketball and wheelchair basketball. The rules of wheelchair basketball and stand up basketball are very similar. The quarters are the length of 12 minutes. The shot clock is 24 seconds and once the ball hits the rim it resets. When the ball is in play you have 8 seconds to cross half court. Players can only be in the key for 3 seconds unless if the ball is being shot. When a player is inbounding
enough he or she can get drafted to play in a professional team and get paid for it. Wheelchair basketball is no different from any other sport. The only exception is that the sport is intended for people with leg disabilities however the benefits remain true. Wheelchair basketball incorporates wheelchair as the only option players can move, thus creating fairness to all players. If it had not been for wheelchairs the disabled would not be able to play the sport and potentially get paid for it. Enthaising
When one looks at the word “disability”, it immediately conjures up an idea of what someone cannot do, or something physically wrong with an individual, that prevents them from doing something as the majority of society can do. When society looks at a person with a disability, society relates or compares them to what is considered “normal”. It is that comparison to the majority, or normality which causes society to view a disability as a negative. Disabilities can limit someone or on the other hand
Every year the eight lane, royal blue track at Eastern Illinois University is where every athlete in Illinois hopes to get the chance to run at the end of May. But only those who run a qualifying time for their event or win their event at Sectional are able to run in the State Meet at Eastern. It is a beautiful track stadium that doubles as a football stadium. The stadium is surrounded by a tall fence on all sides that is covered in ivy. There are two grandstands, a larger one that covers the whole
different for someone who is not in a wheelchair. People often doubt their abilities and therefore have low expectations of them. What people fail to see is how mentally capable and hardworking these individuals truly are. Axel recalls, “Growing up in a wheelchair made the people around me assume that I wouldn’t be able to do anything for myself and that only motivated me more to be independent and prove not only to myself, but to others that being in a wheelchair doesn’t mean I can’t do what a normal
Over recent years, there has been an increased emphasis on physical activity with individuals with disabilities (Goldberg, 1995). Similar to able-bodied athletes, individuals with disabilities experience health benefits from exercise and sport training. These benefits include physical and psychological benefits, such as general fitness, cardiovascular conditioning, cardiopulmonary endurance, muscle strength, flexibility, postural control, balance, , optimal musculoskeletal functioning motivation
throughout the movie. One thing that surprised me the most was the fact that people that really cared about Mariya and Michelle worked on their wheelchairs for them. The fact that somebody close to them were able to customize the wheelchairs for them is so awesome to me and it’s such a useful resource. The fact that Jim and the other gentlemen that worked on the wheelchairs and make improvements is awesome to me. Another thing that surprised me was the fact that Michelle and Mariya’s parents left them to go
global distributor and manufacturer of creative long-term and home care medical devices that promote active lifestyles and recovery. Invacare has 6,000 associates and active markets. The major success factor of Invacare was the increased demand for wheelchairs by the Vietnam War soldiers in the 1970s. As such, the wounded soldiers needed to recover and regain their lives as civilians but the injuries sustained during the war posed a great challenge. A series of awareness campaigns on the important roles
disabled people, or relief for one not having a disability arise. Also, that it is understood that simulations do not perfectly represent the life of someone who is disabled. Outdoor education students could participate in activities such as wheelchair basketball, or sledge hockey games in order for them to catch a glimpse of the physically challenged side. As for a mental disability situation, it is somewhat harder to simulate without being completely insensitive to that community. For this, online
Social Inclusion through Recreation There are many social impacts that are affiliated with recreation. These social impacts can change the lives of people who interact and take part in leisure activities in the outside world. Even though people who are disabled work with non disabled people, there is a lack of social connection between them. Recreation is one thing that can build a stronger connection. My paper focuses primarily on social inclusion for disabled people through recreation.

I am not sure if the attitude was because I was a woman, did not have a wheelchair, or because of small town politics. This is far from the first time seeing someone in spaces without tags or place cards, or spaces that are legal in size but are horribly placed on the property. There are times when I have my ankle and knee braces
disabled people, until a severe disablement of his own, Stephen soon became further disconnected, this time with people from the outside world. Family members connected with Stephen by introducing him to the use of a wheelchair. This action enabled Stephen to connect with fellow wheelchair users yet, after experiencing ‘discrimination’ (Havard, 2014, p.77) held against disabled people; he remained disconnected with the rest of society. While acknowledging how far society has travelled, along the road

Meet Patel Film review Motivational Quadriplegic Sport Murderball successfully conveys the emotion and mentality of people with disability. In this movie, Mark Zupan and Joe Soares prove that disability may put them at a disadvantage, but as long as they have a will they can make something out of their life. Their competition is a huge indicator of their mentality of not giving up. However, there are some contradiction to how actors are portrayed. In the beginning Zupan is referred as an “asshole”
In todays society our world revolves around technology. We use it in our everyday lives. It makes great sense that inventors would create new technology and make technology that is already used, easier for people with disabilities. From the blind to the handicapped and the deaf, there is no doubt you will be able to find some form of technology that will be of great help to them. These people with disabilities face barriers in their day to day life. However, it is technology that is making overcoming
Over time, perceptions of inequality have evolutionized. Slavery was abolished in 1865, women could finally vote in 1920, and Americans with disabilities were given support in 1990 due to the Americans with Disabilities Act. It is a fact that although many steps have been taking in history in order to provide equality with those with disabilities, there are still stereotypes that are used to label those who are mentally and physically impaired. This is shown in the short story “Cathedral” by Raymond
