• Where does all the money go?

14
the adaptive program allows me to be viewed
like everyone else. Just me, Katie. AbilityPLUS
helped me to see that being an amputee does not
limit me from all the possibilities that can be.
Katelyn Weymouth, 2006

• Does any of this make a difference?

15
We have had a lot of exposure to special needs
programs and professionals over the past 4 yrs.
 The people in the AbilityPLUS Adaptive Program
were all super - very friendly, yet professional,
and very intuitive towards special needs. It is a
really well run and presented program where Ian
was able to settle into almost immediately. Ians
