BUILDING EMPATHY THROUGH EDUCATION, STORY AND SPORT.
1 in 4 adults in the United States has a disability, but no one knows how to talk about it. We’re here to kickstart the conversation.
School Programs
A full-day Bionic program allows students to learn about physical disability, ask questions, play, and build authentic connections.

Elementary
Our work with grades K - 4 centers on the theme "we are more similar than we are different." Our full-day program begins with a large assembly or smaller classroom presentations on topics such as making friends, inclusive behavior and language, accessible playground and classroom design, and the basics of assistive technology. The day continues with adaptive sports clinics, led by elite athletes with disabilities, focusing on age-appropriate skills.

Middle School
