Step Up Squad Confidence Camp – Memphis, TN
Step Up Squad is hosting Confidence Camp, a free two-day summer camp for children with limb differences, limb loss, and all forms of dwarfism. The camp will take place in Memphis, Tennessee, on June 13–14 and is designed to bring families together in a welcoming environment where children can build confidence, try adaptive activities, and connect with peers who share similar experiences.
Confidence Camp focuses on representation, community, and empowerment. Participants will have opportunities to explore adaptive activities with supportive coaches, meet new friends, and engage in experiences created specifically with their needs in mind. Families will also have access to helpful resources and information throughout the event.
This event is free for eligible participants. Families are encouraged to learn more about Step Up Squad, ask questions, and connect using the options below.

Flip for Function: Adaptive Gymnastics in Nashville
Flip for Function is a Nashville‑based program offering adaptive gymnastics for children with disabilities by combining occupational therapy principles with movement and play. Founded in 2019, the program was created to address gaps in recreational options and focuses on meeting each child’s individual needs rather than using a one‑size‑fits‑all approach.
Using gymnastics equipment adapted for different abilities, Flip for Function provides child‑led experiences that support motor skills, confidence, and enjoyment of movement. The program currently serves more than 100 children, with continued growth as interest increases across the region.

Explore the Exceptional Education Resource Guide, created to support caregivers as they plan for educational success and prepare for transitions beyond the school system. This resource offers guidance for navigating exceptional education services, planning for post-secondary education, and supporting the move toward independent living.
The guide was developed by Kristie Kirby, Lindsey Lind, and Mandeep Kaur following their completion of the eight-month Partners in Policymaking course through the Tennessee Council on Developmental Disabilities.
