@HaltonDSB - suggesting a small, but very important edit to your caption: The atmosphere at #SATM2023 is sooo awesome… just like our athletes! 🤩

Thank you @JaysCare for helping our athletes create memories that will last a lifetime! 💙⚾️ instagram.com/reel/Ctsd6vsOA…

Their creativity, passion and enthusiasm is truly contagious! They truly embody the theme of National AccessAbility week: “from possibilities to practice”. Check out @lacrossingbarriers and get involved if you can!

📣 Shout out to Lacrossing Barriers! (Best name ever!)🥍🇨🇦 Their incredible programming is breaking down barriers and providing opportunities for everyone to play lacrosse, a sport that holds immense significance in Canadian history and culture.

@HWDSB How does one event a year for students with disabilities support access to athletics? What about the rest of the year? Please listen to the disability community to understand the ableism behind these single day events. thespec.com/opinion/contri…

Earlier this week, elementary and secondary students with intellectual and/or neurodevelopmental disabilities participated in HWDSB’s Access Athletics! Taking place during National Accessibility Week, the event is designed to support access to athletics for all students.

@HWDSB_athletics @NFH_Huskies @HWDSB Please read to understand: thespec.com/opinion/contri…

@HWDSB_athletics @NFH_Huskies @HWDSB While the day itself was great, our students with disabilities deserve so much more. Why don’t our disabled athletes get the same opportunities for athletics programming throughout the year as our non-disabled athletes?

Welcome to the first ever Access Athletics! Thank you to all who have made this possible - especially @NFH_Huskies for hosting over 50 elementary schools and over 500 student athletes and helping highlight Accessibility Inclusion week! #accessibilty #inclusion #athletic @hwdsb

Thank you, @JaysCare, for empowering individuals with disabilities to thrive on and off the field. Let's continue breaking barriers and fostering a more accessible world!

Huge shoutout to the Jays Care Foundation for championing disability-centred sports in schools and creating programs like Challenger. Their vision for inclusion has changed countless lives, mine included.

No better place to celebrate National Accessibility Week than at a Blue Jays game with my Sr. Challenger Baseball athletes! ☀️⚾️🔥 #NAAW2023 #disabiltysport #FromPossibilitiestoPractice #jayscare

🌟 Wednesday’s Spotlight for National AccessAbility Week was on Easter Seals! Did you know that @eastersealson provides life-changing services for kids with disabilities? Adaptive equipment, technology, inclusive summer camps and so much more!! Let's celebrate their dedication!

Thank you @WRTSOakville for creating a space where everyone can thrive and feel accepted. Can't wait to bring Max here! ✨❤️ #WeRockTheSpectrum #InclusivePlay #NAAW2023 #disabiltysport #FromPossibilitiestoPractice

Today’s spotlight is on We Rock the Spectrum in Oakville! 🌟 I had the opportunity to visit this inclusive gem today on a field trip and it was an unforgettable experience! From sensory-rich play to adaptive equipment, they truly empower children of all abilities.
