activity must be viewed as a right, not a privilege.
Toward a Culture of Empowerment
The purpose of this feature is to highlight the voices, strategies, and true
innovations that are shaping physical activity for individuals with visual
impairment and deafblindness. Through evidence-based research practices,
personal descriptions, and expert insights, we explore how movement for
individuals with visual impairments or deafblindness can be a source of
empowerment, and not exclusion.
Let us move beyond sight—and toward a future where everybody is
expected to move, self-advocate, thrive, and belong.
We know that readers will find the information included in the articles in
this feature issue informative and useful in your day-to-day practice.
