In a time where going outside means risking your life or threatening others, Individuals with disabilities all over the country are losing access to aid and social networks as most of the country has shut down.
For individuals with disabilities, isolation can be especially devastating to mental health and education. Organizations like Extreme Kids & Crew are overcoming this reality by bringing their supportive network online, so no one feels alone.
The team at Extreme Kids & Crew are finding new ways to play together, even though they can’t be together. Each activity is designed to encourage creativity and independence while celebrating differences. Parents, who no longer have access to in-home care are invited to attend virtual support groups to help make every home a safe space.
Their virtual community is now expanding to a nationwide network of advocates that are flipping the narrative for the disability community by empowering every individual to be heard and feel connected.
