Which of the following is NOT a measure to raise participation for people with disabilities?

• A. Signs and leaflets in braille and sound loops
• B. Closed events exclusive to disabled athletes
• C. Specialized equipment available
• D. Coaches with experience working with the disabled

Answer: (B)

Inclusion and accessibility are the ideas behind increasing participation for people with disabilities. Providing signs and leaflets in braille or using sound loops removes information and communication barriers, helping more people know what activities are available and how to join. Having specialized equipment means activities can be adapted to different needs, enabling participation that might not be possible otherwise. Coaches who have experience working with disabled participants can tailor sessions, ensure safety, and build confidence, supporting ongoing involvement. In contrast, closed events exclusive to disabled athletes keep activities separate and limit opportunities to participate in broader programs, which reduces overall participation rather than increasing it.
