Active Disability Ireland are delighted to share our Research Report: Teachers' Experience of Physical Activity for Students with Disabilities. Within the school setting, teachers are responsible for ensuring that all students are included within physical activity, however, the reality for many is that there are barriers which make this difficult. This report sheds light on some of the challenges faced by teachers and how they can be better supported to deliver inclusive physical activity to all students.
