To conclude and more
• Sport is a highly visible and influential social institution • Body, ability and disability are social constructs
portrayed through a ‘sporting body’• Views of ability have changed through the inclusion of
‘others’ in competitive sport • Views of disability have changed due to the presence of
athletes with disabilities in competitive sport
• To what extent have we achieved institutional change? or social deconstruction of able?
• How do we move meaningfully to inclusion?
