“By equipping venues, event sponsors, and even convention and visitor bureaus with the proper training and technical assistance, we can expand tourism while creating more inclusive and accessible opportunities for people with disabilities to participate as athletes, spectators and travelers,” said Amy Rauworth, chief research and innovation officer at Lakeshore. “By partnering with All In Sport to produce this blueprint, we are able to offer top-notch expertise in adapted sports, accessibility training, and strategies that remove barriers and ensure meaningful engagement for all.”
Adapted Sports Experience
Lakeshore Consulting Services is a project of Lakeshore Foundation in Birmingham, Alabama, which brings more than 100 years of experience in adapted sports and service to people with disabilities. It is an official Olympic and Paralympic Training Site and home to three Paralympic sport organizations.
It previously partnered with The World Games 2022 to implement ‘A Journey to One World, One Games’, an initiative for disability inclusion and access. The partnership represented an opportunity to enhance disability inclusion and access for TWG 2022 and established a legacy for future World Games and other sports events.
