Answer: d. children with disabilities had few places to participate in physical activities.

Eunice Kennedy Shriver believed that children with intellectual disabilities can be exceptional athletes if given chances to realize their potential for growth.

This is the reason why she hosted a summer day camp at her house in 1962 and invited children with disabilities to participate in physical activities.
