Sports can be adapted or modified to allow people with disabilities to participate by changing rules, equipment, environment, or duration. For example, in wheelchair basketball, the rules, hoop height, and court size are the same as regular basketball, but the dribbling rule is modified. Integrating people with disabilities into mainstream sports or having segregated disability sports each have advantages and disadvantages. Various organizations in the UK work to improve opportunities for disability sports by raising awareness, providing training, and adapting more sports.
