Helping children and teens with disabilities find safe sports
The Children's Adaptive Sports Program has a multidisciplinary team dedicated to improving access to adaptive sports and to the treatment of adaptive athletes. We are committed to helping children and teens with disabilities find a sport they love and can play safely. Through the collaboration of our Sports Medicine, Orthotics and Prosthetics, and Rehabilitation Programs, we provide children with disabilities access to and information about adaptive sports.
We also offer other services for disabled children and teens. Members of our orthotics and prosthetics team can design and assist with the technology needed for adaptive sports. Our rehabilitation and sports medicine teams can help children with varying disabilities find the right adaptive sport and get them in the game. We also help get injured adaptive athletes back to the sport they love.
In addition, Children’s offers these patients the chance to be active and have fun with others like them through our camps.
