Each Thursday evening, a group of adults with IDD get together on Zoom with ACL staff to chat, catch up on the latest news, talk about movies & sports, share food ideas, show off pets, ask for advice from each other, and laugh together. We have no agenda except to battle loneliness and be a regular support to one another. —We also work with people, one-on-one, on tech skills, so don’t let fear of the iPad stop you!
We know that Zoom and other video conferencing can be overstimulating for nearly all of us. For this reason, we keep the group small to avoid overwhelm and ensure that each person can have their voice heard … if they want to go off mute! :)

Join us to:
Share stories and get to know other self advocates
Hear about community resources
Figure out how systems work
Learn about advocating for yourself

📅 Meets Mondays from March 9th until race day on Memorial Day
📍 Open to walkers, joggers, wheelchair users, and runners of all experience levels
As an athlete, you’ll be paired with a dedicated volunteer coach who will train with you throughout the season, helping to build pacing, endurance, and motivation. The team trains together each week, fostering connection, encouragement, and fun on the trail!
🔹 Bonus Training Opportunities: In addition to our regular Monday meetups, we will occasionally join local group runs hosted by Boulder-area running stores. These events provide a great opportunity to experience different routes, meet fellow runners, and be part of the broader running community.
🔹 Volunteer Opportunity: Want to support an athlete as a walking or running coach? We are looking for volunteers to train alongside athletes and provide encouragement throughout the program. If you're interested, contact Caitlin at clooney@aclboulder.org.
🔹 **Important: This is an ongoing program that requires full participation from March through race day.
👉 Want to join? Contact us at happenings@aclboulder.org to come train with us and push yourself Beyond Limits! 🚀💙🏃♂️🧑🦽
Each Thursday evening, a group of adults with IDD get together on Zoom with ACL staff to chat, catch up on the latest news, talk about movies & sports, share food ideas, show off pets, ask for advice from each other, and laugh together. We have no agenda except to battle loneliness and be a regular support to one another. —We also work with people, one-on-one, on tech skills, so don’t let fear of the iPad stop you!

A monthly writing group for
parents or siblings of children or adults with disabilities
The monthly drop-in writing group usually meets the 2nd Sunday of the month on Zoom. Each session starts with a warm-up prompt, then we do a longer write with a more complex prompt that usually includes techniques for improving your writing. After writing, we listen respectfully to the writers read their work.
We rewrite our worlds as parents of kids (of any age) with disabilities!
To register or for more information, contact the instructor, Anna Stewart:
astewart@aclboulder.org - 303.527.0888
Here’s what participants are saying about these groups:
“Writing and experiencing writing with people with similar life experiences is an important resource for me to maintain my mental health, It helps me see things from a fresh perspective. And it gives me a safe, sacred space to share this difficult journey without judgement.”
”Participating in ROW has helped me build connections with others in similar circumstances and re-frame my story to be more positive.”
”This groups has been beneficial in that it has helped widen my perspective about my family and has increased my understanding and compassion for other families, The time with the group provides a break from the stresses of parenting and I leave feeling renewed and refreshed.”
Facilitated by Anna Stewart, a parent, author, and writer. Anna has published over 500 articles, columns, and essays in books, newspapers and online mediums. She’s also taught writing at various organizations and is honored to work with parents who have children with disabilities as we rewrite our stories.

This monthly group is for parents of adults with IDD.
We offer support, information, and resources as we navigate life with our children.
We problem-solve situations with others who understand our journeys.
We focus on Boulder & Broomfield County resources and opportunities.
Facilitated by Anna Stewart, parent to a young adult with IDD. Anna has led parent groups for over 10 years, is a certified parent trainer, disability-awareness author, and community liaison.
Each Thursday evening, a group of adults with IDD get together on Zoom with ACL staff to chat, catch up on the latest news, talk about movies & sports, share food ideas, show off pets, ask for advice from each other, and laugh together. We have no agenda except to battle loneliness and be a regular support to one another. —We also work with people, one-on-one, on tech skills, so don’t let fear of the iPad stop you!
We know that Zoom and other video conferencing can be overstimulating for nearly all of us. For this reason, we keep the group small to avoid overwhelm and ensure that each person can have their voice heard … if they want to go off mute! :)

A monthly writing group for
parents or siblings of children or adults with disabilities
The monthly drop-in writing group usually meets the 2nd Sunday of the month on Zoom. Each session starts with a warm-up prompt, then we do a longer write with a more complex prompt that usually includes techniques for improving your writing. After writing, we listen respectfully to the writers read their work.
We rewrite our worlds as parents of kids (of any age) with disabilities!
