For individuals with severe or profound disabilities, the Motor Activity Training Program (MATP) uses sports adapted to individual strengths to build confidence and personal connections. At George Washington High School in Denver, MATP is changing lives for athletes like Jackie Paisano, but also for student-mentors like Phillip Dilosa, who work together and open up a world of possibilities.
