Description

• The Skating Association for the Blind and Handicapped, Inc. (SABAH, Inc.) was formed as a Buffalo-based not-for-profit educational corporation in 1977. Soon after its initial efforts, SABAH expanded to include children, youth, and adults with all types of disabilities. For more than 26 years, SABAH has taught 9,000 Western New Yorkers who have physical, cognitive, or emotional challenges to ice skate. Over the past years, locally-raised funds provided instruction to more than 800 people with disabilities, each week. SABAH provides weekly adaptive ice skating lessons, adaptive skating equipment, intense volunteer support, and the opportunity to perform in an Annual ice-skating spectacular. SABAH pairs its proven on-ice teaching strategies specific to the needs of those with disabilities with our specialized assistive ice skating equipment, to enable skaters with disabilities. Our skaters improve their balance, coordination, endurance, and strength, learn self-discipline, and put meaning behind our motto, "I can do it, I can skate!" During the season, instruction is delivered to more than 750 people with disabilities, each week.
