Inspire to Do inspires dreams for children with special needs by engaging them in real world opportunities.
By opening our world to all children with different abilities, they are empowered to live to their greatest potentials. Reciprocally, our communities are enriched by raising awareness that all children can be vibrant, contributing members of our society in spite of, and because of, their differences. The Inspire to Do summer camp offers the children opportunities to participate in and see the world beyond the walls of their disabilities and physical parameters. Led by a pediatric therapist and trained counselors, the children are assisted in accessing their communities to their greatest potential. They learn skills for activities of daily living at their level of function, such as accessing transportation, managing money, or learning problem solving skills to participate in their communities in relevant ways. We share inspiring experiences with the children that expand their perceptions of what is possible as well as increase their independence in participating as functional members of society. As a result, they gain confidence, respect, and dignity.
