What is Derby Day?
Every kid WANTS to move.
Every kid WANTS to play.
Each year, in early spring, Believe Beyond Ability hosts a Derby Day for our Believe community!
Prior to this event, we talk with families and therapists hoping to get their child an adapted car. The members of our Board, who are SLPs and OTs, will determine if we can make it happen, and what kind of modifications will be required. Companies and organizations in the area will "sponsor" derby cars, and we get to work adapting them!
Adaptations include seating changes, switch accessible power, and more! We also partner with a local Robotics club to help make this happen!
On the day of the event, we get all of our Believers together, and host a Derby! Kids drive their own cars (parents also have controls), go over ramps, through "car washes", through bubbles, and knock down towers!
As we lovingly say, Derby day is the most MAGICAL day of the year.
