Playing sports with a disability

Playing sports with a disability at USC

The UvA and AUAS offer support when studying with a disability. They both founded a platform (UvA IDEAS and Limitless) to make studying a pleasant and successful experience for students with disabilities. To make this come true, sports can play an important role too.
