Adaptive sports article


There was an interesting article about an event that was organized to provide adaptive sport opportunities for locals with various disabilities (that you can read at the link below).

I think this is a wonderful service for the community!

I did want to softly criticize one comment in the article that referred to people as “disabled individuals.” There is a growing trend with people first language. It would be more appropriate to say, “People with disabilities” opposed to disabled individuals.
However, the company that provides the services, Strive shares their mission on their home page, which uses people-first language:
providing recreational therapy for individuals with disabilities.
 Read the article about their program here:
