Adaptive Sports are competitive or recreational sports for persons with disabilities. During this event, health care professions learners engage and/or participate in a variety of adaptive sports, such as wheelchair basketball, seated volleyball, bocce ball and hand cycling.
This annual event promotes the interprofessional partnership between physical therapists, physician assistants and physicians while increasing awareness of potential barriers to providing quality health care to persons with disabilities, and of community resources available to meet the active lifestyle needs of patients and families with disabilities.
