Hi Everyone,Realizing how much children with disabilities benefit from participating in social activities with children without disabilities, I have decided to start a group whose mission will be to create more inclusion opportunities in recreational activities for young children in our community.

Throughout history, most significant changes in society have come from a small group of hard working positive thinkers. Parents, friends, therapists, teachers, everyone is welcome to join. You are a piece of the puzzle, and we need you to be complete. Regards,Ida
