Little research has been published on inclusion, integration and participation of individuals with disabilities in various sport contexts. This literature review identifies and synthesizes qualitative and quantitative research under the following headings: (a) Meaning of inclusion and integration, (b) Sport contexts and socialization experiences, (c) Under-representation in sport, (d) Integration in disability and mainstream sport, (e) Meaning of disability sport participation, (f) Inner-directedness and internal locus of control, (g) Sport participation motives and perceived values, (h) Sport orientations and goal perspectives, (i) Mood states and the iceberg profile, and (j) Barriers and affordances to inclusion. The interactive nature of inclusion, integration, and participation is emphasized with examples of how individuals with and without disabilities share responsibility for making these processes work. Many inter- and intra-individual differences support the need to study carefully and systematically separate disability identities and the processes by which people include themselves and others.
