It is imperative for a child to partake in physical activity for a number of reasons. Vision Sports Ireland strives to support parents of children with a vision impairment to ensure they can provide their children with physical activity opportunities that are both accessible and enjoyable.
Vision Sports Ireland are working hard to develop education opportunities and resources for parents/coaches and the education sector to give these sectors the confidence to make the adaptations necessary for their children to partake in physical activity.
Vision Sports Awareness Training
This online course is designed to educate coaches, volunteers and teachers on Vision Impairment and how small adaptations to sport and physical activity sessions can make a huge difference to the experience of the participant with a vision impairment.
Further Resources
Vision Sports Ireland are working hard to develop specific resources to support the education sector. Should you have ideas or wish to contribute to the development of such resources we would be delighted to hear from you and learn from your experiences.
