There are training programmes for young people with mental disabilities, which have proved very beneficial. Students like Xie Li, mentally disabled from birth, now have a chance to become athlethes. But it is a challenge . She has to adapt to training programmes as well as mixing with other abled-boiled athletes. “ Xie Li’s confidence has grown,” said her father. “She looks much better and is not so often out of breath after her training.
