The NSCD is one of the best known outdoor therapeutic recreation organizations in the world. Each year, both children and adults take to the ski slopes, mountain trails and playfields to learn more about sports and themselves. With its own adaptive equipment lab, the NSCD teaches a variety of summer and winter sports to individuals with almost any mental or physical disability.
Founded in 1970, the National Sports Center for the Disabled's mission is to positively impact the lives of people with any physical or mental challenge through quality adaptive recreation programs in over 20 sports. The NSCD's impact on lives is direct, immediate and visible. Over 17,000 lessons were provided in 2005 alone.
