The ASEAN ParaGames is a biannual multi-sport event held after every Southeast Asian Games for athletes with physical disabilities. The games are participated by the 11 countries located in Southeast Asia. The Para Games, patterned after the Paralympic Games, are played by physically challenged athletes with mobility disabilities, visual disabilities, who are amputees and those with cerebral palsy.
The ASEAN ParaGames is under the regulation of the ASEAN Para Sports Federation (APSF). The games are hosted by the same country where the SEA Games took place.

Previous Games
The 1st ASEAN ParaGames, held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on October 25, 2001 to October 30, 2001, was the initial major sports event of the ASEAN Para Sports Federation (APSF).
The APSF was conceived in the special meeting of the National Paralympic Committees of the ASEAN countries during the 10th Malaysian Paralympiad and the ASEAN Cities Invitational. The ASEAN Para Games, the “parallel” sports event for the disabled after every Southeast Asian Games (SEA Games), was patterned after the Paralympics and the FESPIC Games.
The design shows the Asean logo positioned with the symbol and image of Paralympic and a victory laurel. The design intends to show the emergence of togetherness of Paralympic Sports Leaders with One Vision, One Mission and a commitment in the pursuit of equality in sports and in life for persons with a disability in the ASEAN region.
Asean solidarity, working together through APSF with an unbreakable bond in unity and brotherhood shall display the will and determination to achieve success in sports and in life. The victory laurel signifies this commitment to excellence.
From this regional image, a sense of cooperation, pride and eternal harmony is unmasked and it is an image that connects us all together in "Mind, Body, Spirit" as in the ideals of the Paralympic Movement.
