Disabled Children and Young People in Sport, Physical Activity and Physical Education

This book presents research on disabled children and young people in sport, physical activity and physical education settings using empirical data gathered either with or from disabled children and young people, centring their experiences and amplifying their voices, while decentralising non-disabled voices in research about them.
