THE NADY LOGO: Our logo embodies our organization. The heart of NADY is the individual represented in the middle of the logo – the child with special needs. The friends on either side signify the importance of friendships, community, and acceptance. The book and ball represent the opportunities that we provide. NADY's goal is to improve and impleme

nt services to enhance the lives of children and young adults living with special needs. ABOUT US: The Nipissing Association for Disabled Youth (NADY) is a registered charity with the mandate to improve and implement services for youth with physical and developmental challenges in North Bay and surrounding area. NADY is unique in that its board of directors are parents of children with special needs that work together and support each other through similar challenges. OUR GOALS: To offer the best services and programs possible so that youth with special needs can develop and obtain their fullest potential. To educate and increase public awareness to foster an inclusive community that values the uniqueness of its citizens. To bring parents of children with physical and/or developmental challenges together so they can exchange knowledge, shared experiences and lend valuable support. HISTORY:

1975 - Six families in North Bay met to address a common concern - the desperate need for appropriate services for their disabled children at the local level. Within months, the group grew to twenty families.

1977 - The group obtained its charter and became incorporated with a board of directors comprised of twelve citizens.

1986 - NADY became a registered charitable organization.

2015 - NADY celebrates almost 50 years of offering children with special needs the best services and programs possible so they can develop and obtain their highest potential.
