Turnstone Center for Disabled Children and Adults, Inc.

Turnstone offers a variety of adaptive sports and recreation programs for children and adults age 5 and up who have a physical or visual disability.

We offer recreational, competitive, and elite-level fitness and sports programs, clinics, camps, and tournaments. All programs are run by certified coaches and qualified instructors. We welcome everyone from first-time athletes to Paralympic competitors. Many of our programs are inclusive and allow able-bodied peers and family members to participate.

Though the agency has undergone many changes since its founding in 1943, Turnstone’s heart and soul have not changed. We remain committed to helping people with disabilities gain independence and live with dignity.
