Celebrating “ABILITY” In Disability!
Hello
Welcome
There's much to see here. So, take your time, look around, and learn all there is to know about us. We hope you enjoy our site and take a moment to drop us a line.
Our Mission
Our aim is to educate on the importance of inclusion in our community and create recreational, leisure, and sports activities that are adaptive and inclusive to all abilities.
“I AM ALL IN” No matter the differences between people, it is always better to treat others the way you want to be treated, and this is especially true when interacting with friends, co-workers, and people who come from different backgrounds or live with disabilities. Our campaign is all about the importance of being comfortable in your own skin and making a decision to be yourself because acting different around someone from a different background or with a disability isn’t cool. It’s a promise to be inclusive!
We aim to promote understanding, acceptance, and appreciation of individual from all backgrounds learning and physical ability directly from the perspective of individuals living with these experiences. Contact us directly to book a Keynote Speaker, schedule an Ability Awareness Day at your school or Sensitivity Training for your next staff development. We work with primary, secondary, and higher education institutions, as well as public and private community-based organizations, and in the workplace.
Helping to empower others promotes optimism and a “can-do” spirit. Volunteering or partnering with Rolling With Me, is an opportunity to contribute to your community year-round. It’s an opportunity to gain leadership skills and advocate for a valuable cause like our Amigos Mexico, medical supply drive; Toys for Joy. toy drive; or I Am All In, Diversity & Inclusion Parade & Festival. No matter how you get involved you are sure to feel empowered!

Book Reading & Spinal Cord Injury Awareness
Additional Information
September is Spinal Cord Injury Awareness Month, often times adults and children alike are very curious about people who use wheelchairs for their mobility. They also don’t know how to react, engage, or include people who who look different.
Everywhere I Go I See Stairs, is a book I wrote that addresses physical and perceptual barriers. Join me for a reading on Zoom. Invite your friends to join too! We will talk about SCI-
• What is SCI?
• Prevention
• Etiquette
What will make this reading & discussion engaging & fun is hearing kids genuine questions and reactions to people who use wheelchairs. Kids will have the opportunity to ask questions & learn 5 etiquette tips. We also have free downloadable coloring sheets to go with the reading & if you would like a book to follow along, they are available for purchase on our website with a discounted price of $10 for this event only.
As a wheelchair user out in the community, what could be a negative encounter, is actually golden opportunity to teach someone it’s ok to be different! This reading & discussion will teach you how to explain SCI, disability, & the importance of taking advantage of awkward moments to teach people kindness & respect.
You MUST register in advance for the FREE event and ZOOM link will be emailed to you.
