Ady had never experienced adaptive sports before joining the NWABA community.
At four years old, Ady, first enjoyed her first adaptive event at NWABA’s beeping Easter Egg Hunt in 2022. Her family wasn’t aware of all the opportunities and equipment available at that time, nor did she have access to other friends who were blind and visually impaired.
Since she started participating in NWABA events, “I have seen Ady’s self confidence, coordination and her social skills improve since partnering with NWABA. She is learning to be part of a team which is very hard to do with sighted peers. She is learning that there are others similar to her, going through life with similar challenges,” says her mother Erica.
“I really had a boring life and now I get to have some awesome sports, like soccer and stuff like that. I learned how to pass the ball and the balls were rattling too. Sports makes me happy. I also liked playing with my friends.”
~Ady (6), NWABA Athlete
She continues, “My wish for Ady and others who are blind or visually impaired is to have a lifetime love of being active. To find the joy in being part of a team. To find friendship and support with others going through a similar life journey”
