Adaptive Sports aren’t always good for people with disabilities here’s why

Adaptive sports are a wonderful thing for the disabled community. It gives people a chance to bond and find command ground with one another. It can help people form new connections that could last a lifetime.

With all the good that adaptive Sports does it can be bad for the disabled community.

When it comes to functions and events sometimes not every person with a disability needs to come together.

There are functions and sports where people with different disabilities find themselves grouped. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again not every person with a disability needs to be paired together.

Not every disability is the same. I know that it’s not popular to say that but there are high-functioning and low-functioning people with disabilities. Because there are low and high-functioning people with disabilities is the reason why they need to be separated.

When you pair the two it stops the growth and even the fun for high-functioning people with disabilities.

It can make that high-functioning person feel miserable and lonely after a while.

The harsh truth about high and low-functioning people is that high-functioning people have a better chance of succeeding in life in the best way possible.

High-functioning people with disabilities need to be around other high-functioning people with disabilities to have the best chance in life to succeed.

There are high-functioning people with developmental issues, however working together with somebody similar can only help.

When it comes to sports it’s pretty much the same thing. Playing with somebody with the same functionality as you can only help you grow as a person.

The Problem with Society is that there are people who think every person with a disability is the same. If that doesn’t change we will never see people with disabilities live to their full potential.
