Learning disabilities

Learning disabilities can affect how a person processes, understands and remembers information, and this also applies to sports and physical activities. Children and adults with learning disabilities may have difficulty following complex instructions, understanding rules or coordinating movements that need to be performed quickly. This can cause them to feel insecure during sports or to develop more slowly than their peers. It is important for sports coaches and trainers to be patient, provide clear and step-by-step instructions and make adjustments where necessary. This way, people with learning disabilities can also enjoy sports and develop their skills at their own pace.

General Guidance

The information in these documents is intended to serve as general guidance and provides insight into different conditions and disabilities. It is important to understand that every person is unique, and that even if two people have the same diagnosis, their experiences and manifestations of their disability can vary significantly. This can impact their needs, responses and the support they require. Therefore, it is crucial to look carefully at the person in front of you. Take the time to get to know them and tailor your actions to their individual situation and needs.​

Person versus Behaviour

It is essential to see the person and not just the behaviour they display. Behaviour is often a response to circumstances, stimuli or emotional states and is separate from who a person really is. When we judge someone based on their behaviour, we risk missing the complexity of their situation and reducing them to just that behaviour. Everyone deserves to be seen and respected as an individual, regardless of the challenges they face.
