Inclusion and
Special Needs

Here at the Y, we celebrate all the diversity of our community, including its neurodiversity. We constantly strive to build a more inclusive, accessible, and accepting environment that embraces all individuals and seeks to meet the changing needs of children with varying degrees of disabilities and special needs. Our programs aim to support all children, so that they can participate and succeed in a variety of social and recreational activities.
