LASSOThe Lasso is our Social Adventuring Group that meets monthly to provide opportunities for our friends with special needs to experience their community, with a partner organization. This neurodiverse group takes part in many fun, life affirming outings, including: rock climbing, line dancing, tennis and karaoke, all with the goal of being a true part of their community. The participants (40 total), along with the volunteers (45 total) benefitted by being able to interact with one another in a fun, accepting environment.
YOUNG PROFESSIONAL BOARDThe YPB was created in January, 2019 as a way to integrate people with IDD into board service, and demonstrate the value of inclusion and integration. Our YP Board is neuro diverse and currently has 18 members. Half of our members are volunteers without IDD, and half are ambassadors living with IDD. The YP Board meets monthly; members are grouped into committees and work together to advocate, plan and fundraise for TTR. This group is unique in that the common practice among boards is to have one representative from the population that they support serve on the board. TTR feels that its important to have more input and ideas brought forward by our ambassadors (our friends living with special needs) and so we have invited them to truly participate and be an integral part of our work, with equal representation on the board. This group meets monthly for 2 hours, alternating between a working meeting (continued Schedule O)
YOGA FIT AND FLOWOur Tall Tales Ranch Fit and Flow yoga class is co-taught by a person with disabilities partnering with a neuro-typical peer to demonstrate the benefits of working together. The class meets once each week, for 2.5 hours, to practice both yoga and strengthening/fitness. Time is also devoted to overall wellness, and encompasses topics such as stress management, nutritious eating and self-expression.The participants (25 total) benefitted by increasing their overall physical health, learning new skills and techniques to remain healthy and reduce stress and being able to socialize with peers. The caregiving families were given some respite each week, which also helped to reduce their own stress and increase well-being for them.
