Abstract

The level of the physical activity (PA) of children with disabilities are lower than children without disabilities. Based on the studies, there are several barriers to participate in the physical activity for people with disabilities in the aspects of personal, social, environmental, and program (Frey, Stanish, & Temple, 2008; Sheilds, Synnot, & Barr, 2012). To promote the PA level for people with disabilities, the holistic approach needs to be implemented to design PA program for children with disabilities. The purpose of this article is providing an example of a theory-driven PA program for the successful participation of children with disabilities into the PA program.

Keywords: Physical activity for children with disabilities, Theory-driven Physical Activity Program, PA participation for children with disabilities
