2. What value Sports Has ???
• 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 the rehabilitative influence sport can have not only on the
physical body but also on rehabilitating people with a disability
into society. Furthermore, sport teaches independence.
Nowadays, people with a disability participate in high
performance as well as in competitive and recreational sport.
• The number of people with disabilities involved in sport and
physical recreation is steadily increasing around the world with
organized sports for athletes with disabilities divided into three
main disability groups, sports for the deaf, sports for persons
with physical disabilities, and sports for persons with
intellectual disabilities.
• Now various national & International Forums available for
disabled Sports.(Physically Handicapped).

• Major disability sporting events include:
• Paralympic Games - A multi-sport event for athletes with physical, mental and
sensorial disabilities. This includes mobility disabilities, amputees, visual
disabilities and those with cerebral palsy. The Paralympic Games are held every
four years, following the Olympic Games, and are governed by the International
Paralympic Committee.
• Deaflympics - The Summer and Winter Deaflympics are among the world's fastest
growing sports events.
• Special Olympics - The global Special Olympics movement got its start on 20 July
1968, when the First International Special Olympics Games were held at Soldier
Field, Chicago, Illinois, USA. But the concept of Special Olympics was born much
earlier, when Eunice Kennedy Shriver started a day camp for people with
intellectual disabilities at her home in 1962.
• Disability Commonwealth Games - For the first time in the Games history a
number of Para-Sports were included in a fully inclusive Sports Program in
Manchester 2002 when 20 countries sent both male and female elite athletes with
a disability to compete in 10 events across 5 different Para-Sports; Athletics, Lawn
Bowls, Swimming, Table Tennis and Weightlifting. “The Commonwealth has always
said it wants to play a lead role in social issues,” says Stead ward, who is president
of the International Paralympics Committee. “What better way than by becoming
the first major sports competition to integrate athletes with disabilities?”
