This is the most spot on response.

Other children/adults and their families might watch it to inspire.

It elevates the sports and broadcasts to areas that may not have a great organized handicapped events in their communities.

Do they do they dream to play sports like professional heroes instead of a Special Olympics athlete? 

Of course... but this does springboard them into possibilities they may not have conceived.
