Petition updateI Am an Athlete, Too: Integrate disabled children into school sportsHow Would It Work?

I am An Athlete, Too

Sep 23, 2021
Incorporating adaptive athletes into sports such as track and field is not difficult. If there is only one paraathlete competing in an event, they would race at the same time as other competitors, and earn a point for their team if they achieve a standard set by Adaptive Track and Field USA. ATFUSA has over 30 years of competitive racing data and has set the standards for several states! Of course, if there is more than one adaptive athlete competing in an event, they would race against each other to score points for their team. Just as there are male and female divisions for each sport, we are lobbying for a para division in Michigan. Viola! Inclusion!
