‘This is what real inclusion looks like’: eight-year-old learns to love skateboarding despite barriers
  • Eight-year-old Lloyd Pinn, who has a rare genetic condition that leaves him non-mobile and non-verbal, is learning to skateboard with the help of volunteers and a custom-built all-ability skate frame at a local skate park. This initiative allows him to experience the joy and thrill of skateboarding, a sport often inaccessible to children with severe disabilities.
  • This development highlights the importance of inclusive sports programs that cater to children with disabilities, showcasing how adaptive sports can provide opportunities for fun, risk-taking, and social interaction, ultimately promoting a more inclusive society.
