AdaptAbilities’ Core Purpose is to empower families and individuals with disabilities to grow, succeed, and belong.
\r\nOur mission is to support vulnerable, disadvantaged, marginalized, and at-risk individuals. Specifically, (1) parents/guardians who are raising children with disabilities often are in crisis or face severe stress and challenges, such as mental illness, suicidal ideation, loss of employment, addictions, marital breakdown, isolation, loneliness, or having to hand their children over to government care. AdaptAbilities provides a wide range of respite opportunities (meaningful breaks for self-care or to go to work) where parents can recharge, rest, take a break, meet with a friend or mentor, work on their family relationships, or go to work.
\r\n(2) The children, youth, and adults with disabilities that we support in these families benefit from the unique programs we provide to meet individual needs and address gaps in the system. Programs include expressive arts, essential life skills, motor development, developing friendships among participants, and involvement in the community through volunteering or employment.
\r\nAs a pan-disability organization, we serve children, youth, and adults with a wide variety of disabilities, such as Autism Spectrum Disorder, Asperger Syndrome, Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder, Learning Disabilities, Tourette Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, Down Syndrome, Anxiety Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Oppositional Defiance Disorder, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, and the Hearing Impaired.
\r\nAct With Integrity
\r\nCultivate Teamwork
\r\nLive Our Purpose

Recreation and leisure programs were identified in 'The COVID 19 Disability Study', as one of the four greatest unmet needs for Candians living with a disability. As an organization we are responding to mental and physical health concerns, through meeting one the greatest unmet needs for a vulnerable population. Our adaptive recreation and leisure programs, also provide much needed social connection for our clients. Through the use of adaptive equipment, ingenuity and teamwork we make outdoor adventures accessible to people of all abilities, positively impacting their health quality of life and wellbeing. Providing participants and volunteers with opportunities to spend time in nature, try new activities, develop skills, and create meaningful social connections, helps individuals develop independence, healthy coping skills, and resilience. Our programs contribute to health and well-being through various phases of life. For example, we can provide opportunities for kids with disabilities to be included, and experience meaningful social interaction from a young age, laying a foundation for a lifetime of healthy living, or we might provide the first opportunity for someone after an injury to return to an activity they used to love, supporting their physical and mental recovery from trauma. We currently offer Adaptive Hiking, Adaptive Yoga, Adaptive Paddling and Adaptive Fishing programs from shore, kayak or canoe. We have a variety of adaptive equipment that helps us make these activities accessible to people of all abilities. For hiking we have an all-terrain wheelchair and a TrailRider which can make even the most rugged mountain trails accessible to wheelchair users, with the right team. For paddling we have fully adapted kayaks and a canoe, with outriggers for additional stability and specialized seating with full lateral support. We also have various aids to assist with gripping and moving a kayak paddle. For fishing we have various gripping aids and an electric rod/reel that allows the user to reel in a fish at the push of a button, stomp of the foot, flick of the head or sip of a straw. In addition to supporting mobility challenges, we also work hard to create a fun, inclusive environment where neurodiverse clients (those who experience, interact with, and interpret the world in unique ways) feel welcome and supported.
