One Unexpected Inclusive School Activity: Archery..
For students with physical disabilities, archery can be made inclusive, enabling full participation through modifications such as mounted bows or mechanical release aids. Take, for example, student archer Dylan Black. Born with bilateral phocomelia, a congenital condition that caused malformation of his upper limbs, Dylan shoots using mouth tabs (used to draw the string with the mouth), and recently scored the top spot in his division. Rather than seeing his disability as a reason not to participate, he views the opportunity as a challenge to overcome. Dylan uses archery as a way to show everyone what they can do if they stop limiting themselves.
