AdaptAbilities is a registered charitable organization dedicated to providing a variety of goal-directed respite programs for children and adults with special needs. We focus on the individual and create an environment where participants have an opportunity to increase self-esteem, gain independence, develop social relations and foster a sense of community. Thank you to everyone who supports AdaptAbilities in making a difference in the lives of our families. Check out the interview with Global Edmonton and the piece on Shaw for the mayors awards!
