Ableism in Physical Education
Kate Mossman
Based on Ableism – a poem by Maria Palacios
Ableism is… people thinking I don’t want a turn at games and not asking me.
Ableism is… missing PE lessons as my speech and language therapist always visits me at that time.
Ableism is… being the last to be picked for teams. Always.
Ableism is… having to have my mum come on school trips to look after me, even though I don’t want or need her there.
Ableism is… not having enough time to get my PE gear on, so I just sit out and say I forgot it, every single day.
Ableism is… the teacher reminding the kids to ‘include everyone’ when we all know no one wants me to play with them.
Ableism is… not being allows to take part in swimming sports because the school said might trip and fall and be a health and safety risk– even though I am a good swimmer.
Ableism is… knowing I would be a hassle for schools at athletics sports, so I don’t return my permission slip, and no one asks me about it.
Ableism is… being the scorekeeper for games, because I wouldn’t be any good and would let any team down, and no one would really want me on their team.
Ableism is… saying I don’t want to take part when sports visit school, because I don’t want to embarrass myself in front them, even though I would love to have a go.
Ableism is… playing in the sandpit at lunchtime, while the rest of the school plays octopus with the teachers, and none of them asking me if I want to take part.
Ableism is… staying in the classroom when the class goes out for games, and no one noticing.
Ableism is… having to go last at every activity because the teacher won’t wear a microphone in the gym, and I can’t hear the instructions, so I have to follow what others do.
Ableism is… not having the opportunity to train for cross country like my peers because
Ableism is… staying on the bus during the school trip because I would be too slow to go on the walk.
