We talk about adaptive sports for kids with disabilities. It's in advance of the Little League World Series Challenger Exhibition Game, which will air on WXXI-TV this weekend.
The Challenger division includes children with physical and intellectual disabilities, and we have a Challenger program here in Rochester.
We'll talk to an organizer and a player with the Webster Challenger program, and we'll talk to an organizer and camper at Camp Abilities -- a camp for kids with visual impairments. It's a conversation about inclusion and more.
Guests are:
- Ron Kampff, organizer of the Webster Challenger Baseball League
- Anthony Vignare, member of the Webster Challenger Baseball Team
- Matthew Farwell, Camp Abilities graduate assistant
- Chris Smoker, camper at Camp Abilities
