About AAPA
Why we exist
The Adaptive Athlete Power Association (AAPA) was founded with a singular mission: to provide a safe and supportive space where adaptive athletes can find independence, build confidence, and connect with a community that understands their unique journeys.
Life altering events, whether physical injuries, neurological conditions, amputations, or other impairments, can drastically impact a person's quality of life. AAPA exists to help individuals reclaim what was lost, support their efforts in rebuilding, and offer them the resources they need to live their fullest lives. Whether it's competing at the highest levels in the Paralympics, engaging with their families in everyday activities, or reaching other personal milestones, our organization is here to support them every step of the way.
We believe that every person, regardless of ability or impairment, deserves the chance to pursue their dreams and overcome obstacles that might otherwise seem insurmountable.
