Labelling and Languages - Since they are on wheelchair-bound due to their nervous system, leading to paralysis, limiting their movement, leading them to be labelled as handicapped which will make them feel excluded from normal people
Strategies:  It is best to avoid negative terms and use positive language to create an inclusive environment.
Attitudes - People can stereotype those with disabilities by assuming their quality of life because of their impairments. There are also discrimination and stigma, where by they may see those with disabilities as a personal tragedy such as the lack of ability to behave as expected in the society.
Strategies: Programs must be planned on different range of skill levels and modified accordingly so that it is inclusive to all ages, types of people.
Accessibility - This could be lacking of transportation that interfere with the person's disability to move around. Getting to places can be challenging as certain facilities are unusable by those with disabilities, such as lack of handrails, or doorways too narrow for a wheelchair.
Strategies: To eliminate discrimination and afford equal access so that it creates an inclusive environment and allowing all types of people to participate in an activity.
Educate the society about those with different disabilities and how to make life easier for those with disabilities to go around.
Person-related
Self-efficacy and motivation - They could have trouble walking, sitting up which could make them feel unmotivated as they can't do things people their age do. Either they may lack moral support from their peers.
Strategies: The participants are to be internally motivated to join and to believe that they can be successful. Additionally, the activities must be modified accordingly and inclusive for all individuals.
Perceived value - They find it meaningless in activities as whether the activity will serve a functional purpose to them, like will it improve from their current state of disability.
Strategies: Let the disabled self-select recreational activities such as bowling, as they may not want to join a game that requires a team like basketball. For practitioners, the activities must be age-appropriate and health benefits are to be realised.
Perceived risk - Since they have disabilities, their parents may make decisions on their involvement in physical activities as they are concerned about their safety or its because of their own limitations.
Strategies: Those with disabilities to have the opportunity to speak out about their abilities and concerns on a program. With observations and opinions, practitioners can offer information and guidelines on how the programs should be modified and developed as it is a must for activities to be well-planned.
