The importance of a physical rehabilitation programme cannot be over emphasised. Sport aids the rehabilitation process. Children who become involved in sporting activities, become intensely focused on being and doing their best - they become self reliant. They struggle to win and relish in their own achievements. The Wheelchair Sports WA Association Inc., strive to become part of these children's lives by offering them sport and recreation activities to assist them to lead full and active lives and that they be given equal opportunities to integrate within our community.
Sport is one way disabled children break down barriers.
The overall interests of the Wheelchair Sports WA Association Inc., are managed by the Executive Committee comprising of a group of community business people who volunteer their time and expertise. The Wheelchair Sports WA Association Inc., has worked hard to organise the 10th Junior National Wheelchair Games being held in Perth in 10 - 18 April 1999. The aim is to promote the health, welfare, and interests of disabled people through recreation, rehabilitation, research, and sporting activities. In the long term the Wheelchair Sports WA Association, is looking to expanding its' services and will include employment, accommodation, respite, training support, social contact, and advocacy facilities. This competition is open to disabled children aged between ten to eighteen.
