Description

Canoeing on the Bronx River, we embarked with families and children with developmental disabilities navigating change to increase participation in outdoor community nature activities. In this first time adventure, children with developmental disabilities, their family and therapists join together to embrace leisure participation accessing a natural community resource, challenge abilities and successfully creating a ongoing love for the river.
