It is vital that you treat disabled gymnasts equally, this will allow them to be confident. You may have to separate them from others and work with them one on one, providing extra support and assurance. You should also ask for extra assistance when supporting them. You need to be aware that it might take them longer to learn the skills but you must make them progress so that they overcome their disabilities.
