註釋
There are claims that the Paralympic Games (PG) might contribute to a better world for people with disabilities (PWD). However, there are also claims that the PG might in fact be counterproductive to the PWD's rights movement because they might promote the medical model of disability and/or ableism. In this context, the authors developed a qualitative exploratory study to investigate the legacies of the Rio 2016 PG from the perspective of disability rights activists and people involved in Paralympic sport managerial positions. In this article, they discuss one of the main perceived legacies that the PG fostered PWD's visibility and a change in society's perception of PWD.
