The Need.

Individuals with physical disabilities make up the largest minority group in the United States. There is an imperative need for people with disabilities to engage in a healthy lifestyle, not only for their physical health, but their spiritual and emotional well-being. People with disabilities with proper assistance and motivation are more likely to pursue an education, strive for career and job opportunities, and importantly become active members in their community.

Access Initiatives was created to give people with disabilities the opportunity to develop a holistic wellness journey, with a comprehensive approach that stresses possibilities over the barriers that society may impinge on us. Whether that may be personal fitness goals, career readiness goals, or the simple desire to surround yourself with a relatable community, we provide individuals with disabilities a safe place to explore all of their goals for personal development.

Access Initiatives is a multidisciplinary center that pushes individuals with physical disabilities far beyond the perceived limitations of their condition. The skilled staff at Access Initiatives help encourage members to engage in physical activities that may have once felt out of reach. Living with a physical disability, can cause individuals to fall vulnerable to unhealthy living habits due to lack of awareness and various resources.
