"Sports activities contribute more to the confidence, morale, and self-image of the disabled than any other form of rehabilitation. The spirit and motivation of sport is used as a means to help guide the disabled from a state of helplessness to productive, fulfilling lives. It has been proven that, in addition to promoting physical and mental rehabilitation, sports activities significantly prolong the life expectancy of the seriously disabled.  Sports can teach this children (and adults) more about responsibility, dedication, independence, teamwork, and competition more than any other teaching tool."
