Three of the main objectives of the KWAA are to:

  • Seek out opportunities to include integrated disabled and able-bodied "team' participation in their events.
The KWAA is supported by fundraising activities and community involvement. It has the support and endorsement of the leading rehabilitation and health care organizations in the state.

The mission of the KWAA is to promote individual and team participation of people with disabilities in a wide variety of athletic and recreational activities.
