Rock Climbing Stretching Guide for Individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD)

When participating in sports, individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) have a higher risk of injuring themselves. According to research, the most preventative measure to reduce injuries in sports is a warm-up such as stretching. By developing a safe, innovative, and inclusive stretching guide, United Rocks coaches and volunteers can promote safer practice and increase participation in rock climbing for individuals with IDD.
