WE OFFER
Leap offers visioning and planning, connections and networks, information, workshops, and family leadership initiatives for families who have a child with a disability and who want to pursue an inclusive life.

WE INVEST
We invest in families because we believe they are foundational in their capacity to pursue inclusive lives and drive social change.

I am delighted to be connected with Leap. Since having attended one of their family leadership weekends back in 2012 my outlook for Liam's future has been full of aspirations envisioning what "a good life" could look like for us. I have attended many Leap events since that time. Thank you so much Rachel Cassen and team for your inspiring work.
