by Adaptive Action Sports
Founded in 2005, ADACS was born from the conviction that action sports culture—and the confidence it builds—should be fully accessible to athletes with permanent physical disabilities. The organisation played a pivotal role in the inclusion of adaptive snowboarding in the Paralympic Winter Games and continues to develop the next generation of adaptive action sports athletes.
ADACS runs adaptive snowboard training camps, recreational skate sessions, and surf clinics for people with physical disabilities. For athletes seeking competition, ADACS provides a structured development pathway from beginner recreational sessions to national-level adaptive snowboard competition preparation. Equipment clinics and peer mentoring from accomplished adaptive athletes—including Paralympic competitors—are central programme features.
Programmes are open to individuals with permanent physical disabilities including limb differences, spinal cord injuries, and amputations. Youth, young adults, and wounded veterans are the primary audiences, and many ADACS graduates have gone on to represent the USA at the Paralympic Winter Games.
AbleGamers is a nonprofit that combats social isolation for people with disabilities through the power of gaming. They provide free custom adaptive controller setups, create developer resources for accessible game design, and run the Accessible Player Experiences (APX) programme to help studios build more inclusive games.
