Adaptive
The Greater Beverly YMCA Adaptive programs are designed to give children and adults with disabilities opportunities to participate in a variety of recreational and therapeutic activities.
The YMCA offers an environment that fosters individual growth and success through programs that develop a healthy spirit, mind and body. All programs center around the YMCA core values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility, while focusing on developing both physical and social skills that will last a lifetime.
We emphasize each person's abilities and individuality, and specifically design programs to foster independence while providing positive recreational and educational experiences for our participants. We can take existing Y programs and adapt them to meet individual needs. We also offer programs designed specifically for individuals with disabilities. We help you select the program that's right for you and your family.
