TRANSPORTATION
We provide transportation for adults with disabilities. We provide transportation to and from Wings of an Angel RISE. Please contact your SSA at Marion Board of DD to start riding with Wings!
EQUINE ASSISTED THERAPY
Equine assisted therapies are beneficial to gain head and trunk control. During a riding session, children also are challenged with learning activities.
SERVICE DOGS
Service dogs help the children gain independence. Service dogs help the children with their daily activities; help pick up items the child cannot reach as well as open doors.
SPECIALIZED EQUIPMENT
Equipment such as swimming devices, tumble chairs, communication devices, and high chairs.
KIDS SUMMER CAMP
Kids camp is time away for the children to be children. The children do not have a disability; they are just kids at camp.
FUNERAL AND BURIAL EXPENSES
Funeral expenses are a sad reality for the parents of children with disabilities. Life insurance companies will not cover most children with disabilities, placing a huge burden on the parents. WOAA wants to help with those expenses through the tough time.
