Ability in Disability

I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Ability in Disability serves to dismantle common misconceptions, stereotypes and generalizations about disabilities, impairments and delays. Our mission is to remove fears and communication barriers by educating children and families about the abilities of those living with disabilities. We provide interactive educational sessions for children ages 5-18, exposing them to various disabilities, their various causes and how people with sometimes severe disabilities manage to live extraordinary lives. We also provide families and individuals support, educational materials and whatever they may need to "get back on their feet by optimistically overcoming obstacles!" We also participate in the Joni & Friends Special Delivery Program, delivering bags of "goodies" to people with new challenges. We can visit your home, school, hospital, office or church. Ability in Disability is a 501(c)3 Non-Profit Organization. www.abilityindisability.org

My Interests

ALL DONATIONS ARE TAX DEDUCTIBLE. We accept cash and non-cash donations such as wheelchairs, crutches, adaptive (driving, living, sports) equipment, stuffed animals, small toys, new books and DVDs, cars, etc. If we cannot re-distribute your non-cash item, we will turn it into funds for our organization. All donations will be used to help optimistically overcome obstacles!!

I'd like to meet:

Anyone with or without a disability. Anyone willing to volunteer for different events. Anyone interested in starting an adaptive waterskiing program in Arizona through Ability in Disability. Anyone wanting to get back into life by participating in various sports activities such as horseback riding, swimming, tennis, etc. Anyone needing encouragement. Anyone that can give encouragement. Anyone willing to help our cause.

Heroes:

People that face obstacles head on....and sometimes need a helmet doing it!!
