The Utah Developmental Disabilities Council and the Utah Parent Center are excited to announce that they have opened the next round of adaptive boxing for Fall 2025.

Classes begin on Monday, October 20, 2025, and will run for six weeks. Sessions will be held on Mondays and Wednesdays from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM at Brickyard Boxing and Conditioning in Millcreek.

Come and learn the basics of boxing, get your body moving, and be prepared to sweat while having a lot of fun! This is a non-contact class as they will only be hitting bags and mitts.

🌍 October is Blindness Awareness Month 👁️‍🗨️

Every day, over 2.2 billion people worldwide live with some form of vision impairment — and yet blindness is still one of the most misunderstood disabilities.

Blindness isn’t the end of sight. It’s the beginning of a different kind of vision — one built on sound, touch, intuition, memory, and resilience.

💬 Did you know?
• 90% of people who are blind or visually impaired still have some usable sight.
• Accessibility isn’t a luxury — it’s independence.
• The greatest barrier isn’t blindness itself… it’s assumption.

This month, take a moment to listen, learn, and see the world through a wider lens.
🔵 Ask questions.
🔵 Support inclusive design.
🔵 Amplify blind voices.

Because awareness isn’t about feeling sorry — it’s about seeing differently. 💙

Not all disabilities can be seen, but that doesn’t make them any less real.

Invisible disabilities like autism, ADHD, chronic illness, mental health conditions, and sensory processing disorders often go unnoticed by others. But they can deeply affect how someone moves through the world.

This is your reminder that EMPATHY MATTERS! Instead of assuming what someone can or can’t do, let’s lead with compassion, patience, and understanding.

Because inclusion means seeing and respecting everyone, even when we can’t see what they’re carrying.
