Disability sport is the future | Abu Yilla | TEDxUTA
This talk will provide an overview of how Paralympic sport has reflected, and helped change the position of people with disabilities in society and how now, with the advent of new technologies, Paralympic sport is often the site for the highest levels of sport performance.
Dr. Yilla received his master’s and doctorate degrees from the Texas Woman’s University, and two bachelor’s degrees from the University of Nottingham, England and the University of Texas at Arlington. His research focus is the explication of the lives of individuals with disabilities, elite disability sport, and in particular, wheelchair basketball. He is a Paralympic medalist, coached national and international championships in wheelchair rugby and has won 19 national championships in wheelchair basketball (8 in Great Britain as a player; 6 as a player, and 5 as an administrator in the USA).
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
