AAASP envisions a society where all children with physical disabilities can experience the rewards and satisfaction of competitive school-based sports.
The American Association of Adapted Sports Programs, Inc. (AAASP) is a membership organization of school districts and state high school athletic associations. It serves its membership with standardized rules, inclusive policies, coaches education, adapted equipment and advocacy on behalf of athletes with physical disabilities who seek athletic opportunities comparable to those commonly available to their non-disabled peers at school.
