Power For All is a charity that serves clients in the Fraser Valley, BC. The vision of Power for All is to provide universal access to adventure based activities to all clients from all walks of life in spite of physical, cognitive, social ability and financial resources. We hope that through providing access to more adventure based activities, regular therapies such as Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy, Speech and Psychology can expand its medium and use adventure as a way to deliver their services to clients. Research evidence points to adventure based activities as a very attractive and viable therapeutic medium with empowering results for clients and the local community.
Through creative and innovative adventure programming, Power For All hopes to challenge society’s views on “ability” by enabling clients through the use of adaptive devices that encourage independence, inclusion, and ability.
