Active Ability Series - By People with a Disability, For People with a
Disability 

 <https://edm.revolutionise.com.au/?r=obbk6pbpolo6adrn&b=4744> 


Sport NSW is delighted to announce the launch of the Active Ability Series -
by people with a disability, for people with a disability. 

During the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, Murray Elbourn, Disability
Inclusion Manager at Sport NSW, identified the scarcity of specific online
exercise content for people with a disability - despite the increasing
options for able-bodied people. 

Sport NSW collaborated with Rachelle Sultana, Head Exercise Physiologist at
Healthstin, eight incredible NSW and Australian representative athletes from
across the physical, sensory and intellectual disability spectrum, and the
team from Hustle Media to create workout sessions for people with
disabilities. 

The inaugural Program in the Disability Workout Series, Exercising at Home,
will be available from Wednesday, 3 June 2020. 

The Program features three levels: 10-minute introductory, 15-minute
intermediate and 30-minute sport participant exercises that are designed for
the following specific disabilities: 

*	Low Vision to Blindness 
*	Hard of Hearing to Deafness 
*	Autism 
*	Cerebral Palsy 
*	Quadriplegia 
*	Paraplegia 
*	Down Syndrome 
*	Acquired Brain Injury 

"Exercising at Home sessions are specifically designed for each disability
type at different levels of fitness and hosted by an athlete representing
that disability. This will encourage greater participation and build
awareness around the limited options currently available," said Mr Elbourn.

The Series will be promoted to NDIS Delivery Organisations, combined with
disability spectrum training to health, education, NSW Government, sport and
community providers. 

Ms Sultana commented, "There is an exciting opportunity to create future
programs. For example, social boot camps combining physical workouts and
social capacity building to improve the physical and mental wellbeing of
participants." 

The Program will be available online via the Sport NSW website
(sportnsw.com.au) and distributed to all NDIS Local Area Coordination teams
to assist NDIS planning discussions and engage greater participation across
community sport and active recreation programs.
