U Fit

The U-FIT Special Physical Activity Program provides fun, noncompetitive physical activities that will help children and youth with disabilities to reach individual goals. Skilled volunteers help the participants build friendships, increase self-esteem, improve motor skills and levels of physical fitness, and have fun in a nurturing environment.

The goals and needs of each participant's family is key to the success of the U-FIT Program. The program is family-centered and family-friendly, meeting needs as diverse as of those who take part. Family members help develop the goals for each participant.
