Support available through the three-year Inclusion 2020 programme includes access to inclusive swimming and the chance to take part in Paralympic sports.
The evaluation took place between January 2019 and March this year and has been released by Youth Sport Trust (YST), which is running the scheme.
Of the 25,997 young people, with and without SEND supported, more than 23,000 had the chance to try para skiing and other Paralympic sports.
More than 2,000 young people with SEND had access to swimming.
The scheme has also supported more than 9,000 schools with training to ensure their sporting programme is inclusive. Through the initiative, the YST has created a network of lead inclusion schools, which work with children, parents and other schools to promote inclusion.
