The AIMPA team has developed recommendations to help organizations promote and support physical activity for children and youth with disabilities. They are a team of researchers who work with community partners to develop evidence-based resources to assist, inform and motivate physical activity! Just as Jooay, they want to make it easier for people of all ages and disabilities to participate in physical activity. They offer five evidence-based recommendations. Organizations should provide families of children and youth with disabilities with:

  1. Clear and consistent definitions terms such as physical activity, adapted, accessible, integrated and inclusive.
  2. Clear and detailed information about your physical activity programs, staff and facilities.
  3. Information about the specific benefits of supporting physical activity for children and youth with disabilities
  4. Ideas, tools, and resources to support physical activity participation, goal setting, planning and progress
  5. Information regarding strategies to help address barriers to physical activity participation among children and youth with disabilities.
