5. The Media have to assume a leading role to spread the human and sporting values represented by Adapted Sport.
   
   
6. Adapted Physical Activity should be included in the functional reintegration programs for all disabled people, whatever their age.
   
   
7. The experience of the disability will provide an essential element for the training of Adapted Physical Activity and SportÂ’s professionals.
