10. Time to Reflect In groups reflect how you could adapt your tutoring style to: 1. Adapt your tutoring to ensure you fully engage disabled learners (you can focus on individual impairments) 2. How you could use good practice examples from within disability sport across your tutoring and not just on equality and disability focused workshops

11. Adapting Your Tutoring Learners are attending your course to have a positive learning experience regardless of their background or ability Try to speak to learners before the course starts to make sure you are aware of any personal preferences or needs. Involve support workers / signers but be conscious to work with the individual Use the same principles you would do a coach to your tutoring. The inclusion spectrum and STEP process can still apply Micro coaching can be a valuable tool to utalise Know how to refer individuals to other sources of support.
