Courageous Kids Climbing is a group of rock climbers based in central Idaho, who volunteer to take children with special needs (developmental and physical) and teach them how to rock climb in area climbing gyms. There is no charge for what we do and we do not collect money. Everything we do is FREE!
For information on this organization please see their Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/CourageousKidsClimbing
a national organization that provides information, support and assistance to parents of children with disabilities, their professional partners and their communities. By allowing these families to more fully participate in community life, children with special needs are able to grow to their full potential. The Federation promotes the active and informed participation of parents of children with special needs in shaping and influencing public policies that affect their families. The peer support network the group provides allows for families to meet with those who can relate and understand.
Independent Living means that we demand the same choices and control in our every-day lives that our non-disabled brothers and sisters, neighbors and friends take for granted. We want to grow up in our families, go to the neighborhood school, use the same bus as our neighbors, work in jobs that are in line with our education and interests and start families of our own.
