Mission Statement
Every Body Athletics’ mission is to make a lasting impact on the physical, social, and emotional wellbeing of adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (ID/DD) through inclusive group exercise.
About This Cause
Every Body Athletics serves adults with intellectual/developmental disabilities who have aged out of special education (21 and over) who come from day programs, supported living settings, or those still living with their parents/guardians. Using both individual and small group exercise activities involving physical and social instruction, Every Body Athletics provides adults with ID/DD the opportunity to achieve success and growth in both their fitness and social-emotional needs. Each EBA training session provides specialized, adaptive exercises that focus on participants’ specific physical needs while inserting time for social practice along the way. Classes also include a 1:1-2 ratio of teammates without disabilities to promote inclusion and increased participation. Many teammates come from local high schools and colleges. Every Body Athletics believes that everybody is an athlete, regardless of physical or cognitive capacities. Every Body Athletics also gets its name from our focus on exercising every part of the body: physical, social, and emotional. Lastly, Every Body Athletics understands that we all benefit when everybody is included in our society and communities.
