✦  About the programs

What are Ability DN Adult Programs?

Adult Programs will provide inclusive opportunities for adults with disability to connect with others, explore interests, build practical skills and participate in the local community.

Programs may be delivered as regular groups, workshops, social activities or community-based experiences. The final schedule and activities will be shaped by participant interest, support needs, availability and suitable group matching.

Expressing interest does not confirm a booking. It allows the Ability DN team to learn what participants, families and Support Coordinators are looking for before the programs are launched.
