Although our town’s parks and recreation department has some wonderful programs, it is not inclusive. Adding an adaptive sports program to our community center would be a wonderful addition to our town. Adaptive sports are conventional sports that have been modified to meet the needs of people with disabilities. Involvement in adaptive sports has so many benefits for people with special needs. According to Disabled Sports USA, individuals involved in adaptive sports programs have higher employment rates, more physically active lifestyles, and enjoy socializing more. Also, regular participation in sports has been shown to increase overall physical and mental health for people of all abilities.
