Inclusive Coaching in Athletics for People with Intellectual Disabilities and/or Autism
If you’re an accredited coach, you already know that great coaching means supporting every athlete to reach their potential. Inclusive coaching is not an optional extra, it’s a core skill of coaches from Level 1 to 4. This webinar brings together practical strategies for working with athletes with intellectual disabilities or autism spectrum disorder (ASD). It draws on the expertise of Special Olympics Australia and lived insights from athlete leaders.

Inclusive Coaching Using the STEPS Principle
The STEPS formula provides a framework for coaches to make changes to their coaching, in the areas of space, task, equipment, people and speed. The changes can be made for the whole group or just for an individual who accesses the session with different equipment and a different coaching plan.
