Developmental Disabilities
About Challenge Alaska Programs
Challenge Alaska improves the quality of life for people with disabilities and the whole community through therapeutic recreation, adaptive sports, and education.
Participation in Challenge Alaska's programs helps people break down the barriers that may exist for them in many aspects of life, by building confidence and security, creating an infrastructure for support, increasing mobility, and improving health: which in turn promotes education, social development and involvement, employment, and the ultimate goal on independence.
