Abstract

Abstract The authors investigated the effects of a collaborative after-school inclusive sports program on adolescents with disabilities and neurotypical students in underserved high schools. The program brought together a large urban school district and a private after-school program to provide a service on the school site. The goals were to provide a truly integrated sports environment for adolescents with disabilities and to provide underrepresented minority students an opportunity to gain service learning, improved social–emotional development, and greater self-perceived impact. The project was feasible and indeed continued well beyond the evaluation period. Quantitative results indicated that the neurotypical adolescents felt they had an impact on improving the responsibility of their peer athlete, and they felt they had better perspective taking after participating. Descriptive comments indicated that the children with disabilities enjoyed participation and that this inclusive program may have provided an additional avenue for a subset of the population to engage more in the activities of their school. Program details are presented to encourage further research and replication.

在服务不足的学校环境中为残疾青少年和神经典型学生发展包容性的高中团队运动

摘要:作者调查了一项合作课后包容性体育项目对服务不足的高中残疾青少年和神经典型学生的影响。该项目将一个大型城市学区和一个私人课后项目结合在一起，在学校场地上提供服务。目标是为残疾青少年提供一个真正综合的体育环境，并为代表性不足的少数民族学生提供一个获得服务学习、改善社会情感发展和更大自我感知影响的机会。该项目是可行的，而且确实在评价期之后继续进行。定量结果表明，神经正常的青少年感觉他们在提高同伴运动员的责任感方面产生了影响，他们觉得他们在参与后有了更好的观点。描述性评论表明，残疾儿童喜欢参与，这一包容性计划可能为一部分人提供了更多参与学校活动的额外途径。介绍了项目细节，以鼓励进一步的研究和复制。
