OUR MISSION
To help schools and parents empower children to appreciate differences in others and in themselves to create an atmosphere of empathy, inclusion, and respect. The DisAbility Awareness Program (DAP) is a fun, fast paced learning experience with a powerful anti-bullying and acceptance message that really hits home. Children develop higher level thinking and realize they have the power to help create a world where everyone belongs.
“This program initiated an essential conversation between children about differences and the ways in which we are all similar. It has created an entry point with our children to show them that kids with disabilities also love to do things that they love todo! I can't say enough about this amazing program and director. I hope all Bay Area schools invite this profound learning opportunity."-Susanna Long, Third grade teacher at Hillbrook School

I have a past history of torn ACLs and I can honestly say the therapists here are the best I have ever worked with. Between Ross and Dan I will make it back to my professional season stronger than ever. Highly recommend to anyone.
