Building Quality Participation in Sport for Blind and Partially Sighted Athletes: A Guide for Program Leaders

Published: May 2025

The Blueprint for Building Quality Participation in Sport for Blind and Partially-Sighted Athletes – A Guide for Program Leaders is a tailored resource designed to support inclusive and meaningful participation in recreational sport and physical activity for persons who are blind or partially sighted. Adapted from the CDPP’s Blueprint for building Quality Participation in Sport for Children, Youth, and Adults with a Disability, this Blueprint provides strategies to help program leaders develop the knowledge necessary to support blind and partially sighted athletes and learn more about the blind community.

As you engage with this Blueprint, please use these principles as a guide to help you think differently about sport participation, blindness and partial sight, and athletes’ relationships with program leaders, peers, and others.
