Jamal’s Experience at AdaptAbilities

Jamal is an outgoing and friendly young man who brings energy and joy to every social setting. He is the life of the party, always eager to interact with both participants and team members at AdaptAbilities. Known for his sense of humour and caring nature, Jamal loves putting smiles on the faces of others and seeing them happy!

He values social connections deeply and always makes it a point to greet everyone and say goodbye. With his extroverted personality, he thrives in social environments.

Before coming to AdaptAbilities, Jamal’s family faced challenges, particularly in public spaces. Jamal struggles with understanding personal boundaries, both his own and those of strangers.

Jamal currently attends the Community Connect Program where participants build independence and get the opportunity for social engagement and community access. With the support of AdaptAbilities team members, Jamal is actively learning about personal boundaries, and is gaining an understanding of social cues, equipping him with the tools he needs to help keep him safe in the community.

The ongoing support from AdaptAbilities has opened doors to new experiences for Jamal, allowing him to explore his interests, meet friends and develop skills that will serve him well in the future as he continues to grow every day!
