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 encourage families to look beyond services and to focus on inclusion in ordinary life. This approach will assist children with disabilities to maintain strong and diverse relationships with family members, friends and within their community.
WE INVEST
We invest in families because we believe they are foundational in their capacity to pursue inclusive lives and drive social change.
