Stop, Drop, & Play (SDP) events are for children with special needs and their siblings! We believe that safety is vital as families entrust us with their children. Therefore, we have a 1:2 – 1:4 ratio for all of our SDP events. So enjoy a moment of REST while the Ability Tree Team hangs out with your child(ren).
MVPs and their siblings will make new friends, play fun inclusive games & accessible activities, and much more! Meanwhile, you as the parent/caregiver get a break from your ongoing care-giving responsibilities! Your MVP will not be left to figure out how to have fun on his/her own – our team makes sure everyone feels engaged, and we promote social skills throughout their time with us. We pay attention to their social ques and support accordingly.
Due to limited space and use of volunteers at each of these events, PRE-REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED. Once our spots are filled, there will be a waiting list in case of any family cancellations. If you are not able to register because all spots are filled, please put your name on the waiting list!

FAQs
Will a meal be served?
We will not be serving a meal for the children due to the various dietary needs. However, we will have snack time. Snacks will be popcorn &/or pretzels. We’ll have water &/or lemonade for them to drink.
If your child requires special foods, medications, adaptive equipment, etc., you may bring it. For medications and adaptive equipment, you’ll check it in at the registration table the morning of and explain the use to the coordinator.
