This week on the podcast I am speaking with Amanda Bouchard, a Certified Therapeutic Recreational Specalist with Northeast Passage. Northeast Passage is an organization in New Hampshire that organizes adaptive recreational and sports programs for people with disabling conditions. Their mission is to empower people living with disabling conditions, both visible and invisible, to define, pursue and achieve whole life health, community engagement and fulfillment through the purposeful use of sports and recreation; to develop and promote best practices in the fields of Therapeutic Recreation and Adaptive Sports. 

Amanda and I speak about how Northeast Passage began and some of the programs they offer. We also talk about some of the adaptations that can help people who have mobility struggles to participate in the activities they love, including cycling, golf and archery. 

If you want to find out more about the programs provided by Northeast Passage, you can find them at https://www.nepassage.org/ or call 603.862.0070
