British Canoeing use the term Paddle-Ability to refer to all paddling activities for disabled people, be it specialist activity or as part of mainstream opportunities. The term Paddle-Ability focuses on a person’s ability to take part in paddlesport rather than their disability.

Paddle-Ability sessions enable disabled people to take part in activities with other disabled people as part of a club, or groups specifically for disabled people or, more frequently, alongside their non-disabled friends and family.
