Adaptive Sports Resources

What is the connection between baseball and a meaningful job? According Kathy Martinez, Assistant Secretary of Labor for disability employment policy, she sees a clear case that sports — from baseball to trapshooting to handcycling — improve both quality of life and employment results for people with disabilities.

“Sports are ingrained in the American psyche; they’re a cultural force,” Martinez wrote. “Whether played in a large stadium or neighborhood park, they have the power not only to bring people together … but also to shape societal attitudes.”
