On this episode of Inside Athletic Training, we’re joined by Kandi Pickard and Colleen Hatcher from the National Down Syndrome Society (NDSS) to talk about their impactful, long-standing partnership with PBATS. Together, NDSS and PBATS have worked to champion inclusion in baseball, sports, and the workplace through joint initiatives like the PLAY Campaign and the Ability Transcends Challenges program. Kandi and Colleen share how these programs are helping to shift perceptions, create opportunities, and build more inclusive environments across professional sports and beyond. Tune in for an inspiring conversation about advocacy, collaboration, and the power of community.
