ADAPTIVE AND INCLUSIVE MOVEMENT INITIATIVE

Description

AIM Seattle is a grassroots organization that works to address systemic barriers faced by people with disabilities, especially children, teens, and young adults. People with disabilities have the same aspirations and dreams that everyone does: healthy relationships, meaningful ways to participate in society, and the resources needed to be successful. Yet as a community, people with disabilities face numerous daily challenges and systemic barriers to full participation in society. In addition to basic challenges such as transportation and housing, access to supportive services is complex and multi-faceted.

AIM is addressing these barriers by supporting Disabled community members. In January 2021, AIM began a weekly Adaptive Dance Program for teens with a diverse range of disabilities supported by volunteers. Since then, we have expanded our programming to expand our dance offerings and incorporated other arts programming, including music and theater.
