This is a beginner’s list of community activities available to children during and after they leave the Bell Center. We encourage parents to continually seek out opportunities to help their children lead physically and socially active lives.
There are often local, state and national resources related to a specific disability. Local recreation centers often provide a variety of movement programs and local churches often provide respite care.
This list is by no means exhaustive nor are the programs listed here endorsed by the Bell Center.
