Resumen

The aim of this study is to contribute evidence aimed at advancing social inclusion for people with disabilities through sports by an analysis of what is necessary to promote and develop Mixed Ability (MA) rugby. MA rugby is a sport in which teams are made up of players with and without disabilities. In this chapter, a review of the literature on theoretical framework of disability, social inclusion and sport provisions from a social model of disability standpoint is carried out. Next, a survey is prepared and validated following the Delphi method. Afterwards, this questionnaire is applied to players, families, clubs' staff and referees related to MA rugby in Spain, Chile, Ecuador and Argentina. The results of the study show the key points to improve the visibility and promotion of MA rugby, which in turn affects the advancement of social inclusion. Among the conclusions, it stands out that the role of the environment is fundamental to guarantee the rights of access and full participation of people with disabilities in sports, as promulgated by the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD).
