Bill > H273

This bill aims to ensure that students with disabilities have equal opportunities to participate in mainstream physical education and athletic programs in schools. It requires school districts to provide reasonable modifications, aids, or services to enable students with disabilities to participate in these programs to the fullest extent possible. The bill also mandates that schools offer adapted or unified sports and inclusive programs, either during or after school hours, to cater to the needs of students with intellectual, developmental, visual, or physical disabilities. The Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association may establish interscholastic athletic programs for students with disabilities participating in these unified or inclusive programs, and may require specialized training for coaches of such programs.
