Strengthening and empowering individuals challenged by disability from the Western New York region through adaptive recreational programming.

Welcome to SABAH

As we celebrate our 47th season of serving those in our community challenged by disability, SABAH continues to be dedicated to the mission of enriching the quality of life for individuals challenged by physical, cognitive, and/or emotional disability by providing education and therapeutic recreation, promoting fitness, and developing social and communication skills. Although the organization began as one which provided adaptive ice skating for those with special needs over the winter, SABAH now offers six year round programs, on ice and on turf, for more than 830 participants. With the support of more than 500 remarkable volunteers from this region, SABAH has expanded programming to increase the physical activity and wellness of those we serve.
