NADA to host Inclusion Conclave to sharpen focus on athletes with disabilities on Friday

National Anti-Doping Agency will host an Inclusion Conclave on Friday to sharpen the focus on anti-doping education and processes for athletes with disabilities.

Secretary, Department Sports, Sujata Chaturvedi, UN Resident Coordinator Shombi Sharp and WADA Asia-Oceania Regional Office Manager, Kenny Lee will address the conclave.

NADA has already developed comprehensive modules on anti-doping education and awareness in Universal Design of Learning for athletes with



disabilities. UDL is a multi-modal framework to improve and optimize teaching and learning for all persons using sign language visual representation, transcribed subtitles and content audio.

Some material, usually available in print only, has now been produced in Braille and audio formats. NADA has also conducted sensitisation workshops for Dope Control Officers who collect samples from athletes with disabilities and has upgraded the DCO kit for such athletes.
