KIDS ON THE BLOCK is a disability awareness program which provides an opportunity for children to learn about various disabilities and ask questions they might be afraid to ask someone they meet in public. The goal is to teach children that everyone is different; we all have unique challenges and abilities - and that's okay - in fact, it's what makes us special.

These 45 minute performances, offered to children in schools, churches and community groups, are most effective with group sizes of up to 75 people. We generally target children ages 8-11, but have received positive response for specific topics for younger children. Individual shows may vary according to the topics chosen, and at the discretion of the coordinator.

We do not charge for performances. However, donations can be directed to the Independent Living Centre. Your generosity enables us to continue to create awareness in the community for children with disabilites.
