Michigan Veteran's with Disabled Benefits
Program Goals:
• To increase awareness of the recreation and sports available to people with
physical Disabilities.
• To increase awareness in our community about individuals with different types
of physical disabilities.
• To provide Veterans the opportunity to participate in adaptive sports at local
lever for fun and recreation or to meet personal fitness goals.
• To encourage inclusion of individuals with disabil ities
• To increase awareness and knowledge of the public on the importance of
active lifestyles for veterans with disabilities, and the use of recreation and sport
activities to encourage healthy, active choices.
• To provide resources for those individuals that are ready for the next level might
consider training to become an elite athlete to possibly compete on the
Paralympics level.
Benefits of Disabled Sports and Recreation:
Sport can play a key role in the lives and communities of persons with a disability, the
same as their peers without a disability.
• Socialization - Socialization through sport is particularly valuable for
persons with a disability as they often remain in the home environment,
protected and guarded by their families. Participation in sport creates
peer interaction, co-operative relationships and teamwork.
• Empowerment - Sport can also play a significant role in reducing the focus
on the impairment or disability of the person and places the focus on their
abilities. This leads to empowerment and greater self-confidence that can
be applied to other realms of life, for example employment.
• Independence - Disability sport programs serve to strengthen participants
both mentally and physically, promote rehabilitation, and facilitate a
capacity for self-help. "While sport has value in everyone's life, it is even
more important in the life of a person with a disability. This is because of
sport's rehabilitative influence and the fact that it is a means to integrate
the person into society and sport teaches independence".
• Inclusion - Sport can promote the inclusion of everyone and eliminate
stigmatization.
111 Understanding - By involving participants with and without a disability in
the same programs there is increased understanding and sensitivity about
one another and it can assist with preventing social exclusion.
