Russia ratified the UN International Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, which provides for enabling persons with disabilities to participate on an equal basis with others in physical education and sports, including through encouraging and promoting their participation in sports activities, ensuring the availability of sports facilities and services. Physical education and sport - the most powerful tool of social adaptation and rehabilitation of disabled persons, aimed at solving the problems of education, of education, improvement and correction of deficiencies or disorders of motor and communicative disorders.
Currently, most economically developed countries have a variety of programs and Social Security Disability system, which includes both physical training and sports, worked disabled attraction system for physical education and sports. The main objective of attracting people with disabilities in regular classes – restore the lost contact with the outside world, create the necessary conditions for reintegration,, participation in socially useful labor and the rehabilitation of the health. Besides, physical education and sport help to improve the mental and physical persons with disabilities, contributing to their social integration and physical rehabilitation.
In Russia, has long prevailed medical approach to disability: the concept of 'invalid' was seen as a synonym for the word "sick", the need for physical education was considered only in the context of the treatment of "disease". In recent years, development has received a social approach to the problem, and regular physical exercise are considered to be an urgent need. The significant growth of interest in the community to a wheelchair sport success caused the Russian Paralympic Team at the Games in Vancouver 2010 year.
NROOI "Invatur" deals with the problem of integration of disabled persons into society 1995 of the year. Address issues of education, employment, organization barrier-free environment, creating in society a tolerant attitude towards people with disabilities. One of the activities – involvement of persons with disabilities in regular physical training, participation in sports competitions. In our time, in a physically healthy person, there are many opportunities for sports, you only need to desire. before disabled, wishing to exercise regularly, There are a number of barriers: architectural inaccessibility of sports facilities, transport problem, lack of adaptive trainers and specialists in the AFC. Sporting conditions of high achievement are, but a systemic solution for the organization of regular physical training for people with disabilities No. As a way to resolve the problem, you can see the organization of physical training and sports on the basis of public associations of disabled persons.
From January 2013 year are training members of the Nizhny Novgorod regional public organization of the disabled "Invatur" sports complex "Fizkult Meschera» (Nizhny Novgorod). It is a modern sports complex has everything you need for employment of people with disabilities: accessible architectural environment gyms and locker rooms, adaptive simulators, Swimming pool with hoist. Of particular note, that classes are not isolated from the rest of the visitors. Visits to members of the organization are completely free, allowed to accompany, if necessary. In the more 20 man, for every three days a week set.
Became traditional visits of members of the team in Sochi on the outdoor festival of culture and sports among people with disabilities "Pair of Art». IN 2012 year from NROOI "Invatur" people leaving the country six people, including five with disabilities, in 2013 it was possible to send 10 man, including eight with disabilities 1 and 2 groups. Nizhny Novgorod sportsmen took part in running races in wheelchairs and slalom, tolkaniyu nuclei, orienteering, dartsu. If in 2012 It was "brought" six awards, then 2013 - thirteen. Funding was able to provide travel from different sources: grants and sponsorship funds, city sports department support. The prospect of participation in these trips - a good incentive for regular exercise.
One of the tasks - examination of sports facilities for accessibility for people with limited mobility. Often accessibility sports facility is reduced to the construction of a ramp at the entrance. It ignores the availability of changing rooms, toilets and showers, the availability of adaptive simulators. Public Association of Disabled acts in these cases with the relevant appeals and complaints. One of the main problems: Shipping wheelchair to a place of training and competition. Service "Social taxi", in the list of objects that cater to enter and sports facilities, use is not possible because of an inconvenient work schedules.
Experience in the organization of physical training and sports on the basis of public associations of disabled persons shows, that this form has a number of advantages:
- Close contact with the target group.
- The possibility of raising funds from various sources.
- When conducting training using innovative techniques, modern equipment.
- In some cases, a public organization acts as a representative of the collective interest in protecting the rights of its target audience.
- The key distinction is that, that the organization of events involved people themselves disabled. This is an additional factor of social adaptation. Unlike conventional forms of "sports festival for disabled" children are not satisfied with the position of the guest of honor, independently participate in solving problems.
Along with other forms of involvement of people with disabilities in regular physical training and sports, operation of public associations in this area has a number of advantages, improve the efficiency of the work done.
