Directory of Sports Organizations for Athletes with Disabilities

Directory of Sports Organizations for Athletes with Disabilities
May 2003: The AAPM&R-RPC Directory of Sports Organizations for Athletes with Disabilities has recently been revised to include an expanded number of organizations and contact information.

By 2003 AAPM&R-RPC Athletes with Disabilities Committee Chair:
Steven E. Mayer, MD

Forward

Sports competitions for athletes with disabilities have blossomed over the past 35 years. These athletes have special requirements that only physiatrists can address. Unfortunately, most of these athletes are not being followed by physiatrists, and no system exists for engaging qualified physiatrists for this purpose. This directory takes the first step by providing a nationwide listing of organizations to help local physiatrists become involved with sporting events for athletes with disabilities. The organizations listed herein will provide information about classification systems and local participation guidelines.
