Since its founding in 1983, Achilles International has focused on athletic programs and social connection for people with disabilities. The organization welcomes people of all ages living with a disability, including but not limited to those who live with blindness or low vision, deafness or hard of hearing, dwarfism, cognitive, developmental and intellectual disabilities, limb loss, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, spinal cord injuries, and traumatic brain injuries, and it also serves and welcomes military veterans. Achilles International operates 34 chapters in 17 countries and 28 chapters in 19 states plus Washington, D.C. The program’s mission statement is: “We transform the lives of people with disabilities through athletic programs and social connection.” One participant described the experience by saying, “What Achilles does is create community around athletics. In this community we are athletes first, people second, and people with disabilities last. And that fades into a non-issue as we get to know each other.”
