Move United’s Inclusive Playbook was created to educate kids on disability awareness through the lens of adaptive sport.
Move United’s Inclusive Playbook uses the power of sport to push what’s possible for people with disabilities, fueling conversation, and inciting action that leads us to a world where everyone’s included. The Inclusive Playbook is a free, 24 page, interactive workbook created for children in pre-K through 6th grade and focuses on disability awareness and adaptive sport. It is accompanied by a two page interactive Inclusive Playmat for early understanding and learning.
We encourage teachers, coaches, youth leaders, after-school caretakers, parks & recreation professionals, families and other disability advocates to use the Inclusive Playbook to bridge the gap between individuals with and without disabilities.
Move United's Inclusive Playbook is a 24-page educational workbook designed to teach children about inclusion and disability. It is filled with activities for kids Pre-K through 6th grade. It incorporates adaptive sports to introduce kids to disability, raise their awareness, and help them become allies.
To ensure that all kids have an equal opportunity to participate in sports and recreation in their schools and communities, the Playbook is supplemented by a comprehensive curriculum bundle for educators and sport and community providers which features instructional strategies, lesson plans and activation ideas.
Activation opportunities that encourage coaches, community leaders, parks and recreation professionals, summer camp counselors, after school caretakers and families to facilitate the use and engagement of the Playbook.
Opportunities for kids to self-learn and reflect on their communities, peers and environments in order to build empathy for others, challenge their own bias and call out ableism when they witness it.
We have created numerous versions of the Playbook, including Large Print, so that it is accessible for youth with disabilities. In addition, our supplemental resources have been created with accessibility as a priority, including alt-text on all images.

Move United’s Inclusive Playbook (sometimes referenced as IPB) is an educational workbook which aims to educate children on disability awareness through the lens of adaptive sport. The workbook is made up of two parts – the Inclusive Playbook (pages 1-19), designed for children in grades 3-6, and the Inclusive Playmat (pages 20 + 21), designed for children in grades K-2.
The Inclusive Playbook was designed to build awareness and conversation around disability at an early age. Therefore, anyone who works with youth including teachers, coaches, youth leaders, after-school caretakers, parks & recreation professionals, families, etc. can use the resources available in a way that best works for their learning setting!
Move United’s Inclusive Playbook was developed and reviewed over a two year period based on a need identified from our athletes, members and larger network. The Playbook was brought to life through the involvement of K-12 educators, higher education professionals, adaptive sports providers, NGBs, youth leaders, sports and community leaders and disability advocates. Most important were the many voices from within the disability community that are not only featured in the IPB through the content, quotes and images, but were heavily involved in the creation and review processes to make sure that the disability awareness and etiquette was communicated properly for young kids to understand as well as centering the disabled voice.
It’s FREE! In hopes to increase inclusion in all schools, communities, and sports teams, Move United’s Inclusive Playbook, along with all of its supplemental resources, are entirely free educational resources.
