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!

Mask Up!
The world is experiencing one of the scariest health epidemics in history. Trying to explain to children what COVID-19, also known as the Corona Virus, is and how to keep yourself safe from catching or spreading it can be difficult and challenging to explain.
We are excited to announce that we have created a new children’s book that helps parents and educators teach a healthy & safe routine for COVID-19. Mask Up! comes out on October 31, 2020 You will find that this book explains COVID-19 in terms kids can relate to and what to do to minimize the risk of catching COVID-19 or any other virus by wearing a mask and washing your hands.
Tips From The CDC
Tips for talking to children
- Remain calm. Remember that children will react to both what you say and how you say it. They will pick up cues from the conversations you have with them and with others.
- Reassure children that they are safe. Let them know it is okay if they feel upset. Share with them how you deal with your own stress so that they can learn how to cope from you.
- Make yourself available to listen and to talk. Let children know they can come to you when they have questions.
- Avoid language that might blame others and lead to stigma.
- Pay attention to what children see or hear on television, radio, or online. Consider reducing the amount of screen time focused on COVID-19. Too much information on one topic can lead to anxiety.
- Provide information that is truthful and appropriate for the age and developmental level of the child. Talk to children about how some stories on COVID-19 on the Internet and social media may be based on rumors and inaccurate information. Children may misinterpret what they hear and can be frightened about something they do not understand.
- Teach children everyday actions to reduce the spread of germs. Remind children to wash their hands frequently and stay away from people who are coughing or sneezing or sick. Also, remind them to cough or sneeze into a tissue or their elbow, then throw the tissue into the trash.
- If school is open, discuss any new actions that may be taken at school to help protect children and school staff.
