  • Wellness in motion is a 90-minute community-based session designed to support adults and young adults with developmental disabilities through movement, mindfulness, and meaningful conversation. Each session combines adaptive physical activities with guided discussions that focus on wellness, relationships, and everyday life skills. Participants are encouraged and respectfully supported to share information about themselves with their peers in a safe and inclusive environment, fostering confidence, social connection, and emotional growth. Through gentle challenges and open dialogue, the program aims to help individuals build resilience, self-awareness, and a stronger sense of community.

  • The first session is free, then it's pay per session. 

  • Many individuals with developmental disabilities face ongoing stigma, social isolation, and barriers to self-expression.
