Horizons Ski Program
“This program is absolutely amazing! You made my son feel like he could do anything. The patience AOEC and their volunteers had with my son and the other children and adults in the program was amazing! 100% I am recommending this program and all your programs to other parents that have young children and adult children with disabilities and to educators who can also pass on your incredible organization! Thank you, thank you for all you do!!”
