A Simple Way to Directly Connect to Health and Inclusion

DirectConnect:

  • Ensures providers know about inclusive opportunities for individuals with disabilities and their families.
  • Educates medical communities about our expectation that children and adults with disabilities have equitable access to active, healthy opportunities through inclusive recreation, sports and tourism
  • Connects individuals living with a disability to places that are transforming – places where inclusion happens every day they are open for business
