This first webinar will be delivered by Cara (Sport Inclusion Ireland), and aims to address areas of overall awareness of different types of disabilities and additional needs that people can have, and how you can be a part of understanding and accommodating this for people in a paddling context.
The Webinars will take place each month with a new registration link. Each month a guest speaker will facilitate an interactive webinar on the following topics: Physical, Intellectual and Sensory Disabilities, Autism & Additional Needs, and an information webinar on pathways towards Special Olympics and Paralympics. Members will be invited to engage in a Q&A with the guest speakers at the end of each presentation.
This Disability & Inclusion Education Series is for all members, however spaces will be limited so please register early.
