The funding supports the Federation's efforts to plan, develop, manage, and implement adaptive sports programs nationwide, including clinics and activities focused on rehabilitation and community reintegration for veterans and service members with disabilities such as spinal cord injuries, amputations, PTSD, and other mental health conditions. Key services provided through the grant include delivering adaptive sports programming in racket sports like racquetball, pickleball, tennis, badminton, and squash to improve quality of life and help participants cope with their disabilities.
