CMHD Projects

Inclusion Project

For us, inclusion is more than just a space or a place, but rather it is a subjective experience characterized by feelings of acceptance, belonging, and value. In order to understand if people feel included within a space or a place, researchers and service providers must engage directly with the those intended to be included within those spaces. The CMHD is committed to engaging with and speaking to people with disabilities about their experiences in physical education, physical activity, and other educational contexts to learn whether feelings of inclusion are available to them, and if not, how we can work with service-providers to help develop atmospheres that support those feelings. On this site, we share more details about our views toward inclusion in our inclusion project video (insert hyperlink here), as well links to our scholarship in this area with colleagues nationally and internationally.
