About U.S. Paralympics
The U.S. Olympic Committee's Paralympic Division was formed in 2001 to increase support for Paralympic sport in the USA. The USOC Paralympic Division coordinates the preparation and selection of athletes to U.S. Paralympic Teams, both summer and winter, in conjunction with pertinent National Governing Bodies (NGBs) and other partner organizations. The USOC Paralympic Division also works with national and locally-focused sport organizations that offer Paralympic programs to children and other developing athletes. Through these efforts, the USOC Paralympic Division promotes Olympic ideals throughout the American population, especially among those Americans who have physical disabilities.
