Easter Seals NL has developed life-changing programs and resources for persons with disabilities with the intention of engaging, inspiring, and empowering. By use of these facilities, Easter Seals hopes to create a world where persons with disabilities are able to live a full, active, and healthy life.
The programs developed by Easter Seals strive to give persons with disabilities an environment where they are able to fully and accessibly participate in sports and other events. The programs are designed to give children and youth the opportunity to fulfill dreams they never thought possible. Easter Seals believes that with the right amenities and approach, there is nothing that a person with a disability cannot accomplish.
Children and youth who have had the opportunity to experience the Easter Seals programs have demonstrated improvements in social skills, self esteem, and physical strength and abilities. The programs are specifically fitted to each individual need, and thereby provide conceivable growth of their sense of ability and their confidence.
Life is a beautiful, wonderful, crazy thing. Life with blindness should be no different. CNIB aims to embolden people who are blind or partially sighted to lead independent, active lives and chase their dreams through innovative programming and powerful advocacy. CNIB empowers people of all ages impacted by blindness to follow their dreams, destroy barriers to inclusion and live the lives they choose. CNIB is a charitable organization driven to change what it is to be blind today that is powered by a dynamic network of participants, staff, volunteers, donors, and community partners from coast to coast.
CNIB's Annual Family Camp gives families navigating sight loss from all over the province the opportunity to come together in a supportive, fully adapted and fully inclusive environment for 5 days and 4 nights of rehabilitative skills building, recreational fun, and peer support. Each year we welcome thirty CNIB families to the Lion Max Simms Camp in Bishops Falls. While this is not the only family camp in the province, it is the only one structured to serve the unique needs of families living with sight loss.
The week long camp offers a supportive and rehabilitative environment that focuses on recreation, independence, socialization, skills building, peer support, visits with Therapy Animals, and, of course, fun. . All family members are encouraged to take part in recreational activities, which is a good way to learn how to support their loved one as they explore the world of recreation.
The REAL Program aims to provide support for youth in our community who, due to financial barriers, are unable to participate in registered recreation and leisure activities. They believe that these kinds of activities should be accessible to every child, regardless of their situation in life.
The list of ways these activities benefit their participants is endless: it supports personal development and growth, promotes living an active and healthy lifestyle, boosts their self-esteem, and gives them the opportunity to make friends and develop social skills. The REAL Program aims make sure that every child has an opportunity to play and grow.
