The EPJ Unified Special Olympics purchased a push button/switch adaptive ability wheelchair accessible bowling ramp from Ability Tech! While it may have been trialed in the SLC classroom, with a volleyball and plastic pins, it was a great way to show a few of the athletes of what their peers have access to during bowling season! We are beyond excited for this addition to our Special Olympics to allow those with unique challenges to be a part of yet another aspect of our mission: one school, all abilities, unified together!
Dustin and his family are doing a truly remarkable thing for those with disabilities!
