The Need.
Individuals with physical disabilities make up the largest minority group in the United States. There is an imperative need for people with disabilities to engage in a healthy lifestyle, not only for their physical health, but their spiritual and emotional well-being. People with disabilities with proper assistance and motivation are more likely to pursue an education, strive for career and job opportunities, and importantly become active members in their community.
