YES YOU CANTM is a series of staff-assisted group and individual exercise and weight-training programs geared toward people with disabilities or limited mobility. YES YOU CAN breaks the disability barrier and provides hands-on or standby assistance so that most ability levels can participate.
The program was developed to encourage participation in an exercise program, while addressing the barriers that often prevent a person with a physical disability from exercising. The benefits of this type of program are many, including improved physical and psychological well-being.
The YES YOU CAN program was created, designed, developed and implemented in 2004 by Vickie George, president of Focus Mobility LLC (FMLLC) located in Wilmington, Delaware. FMLLC is committed to eliminating barriers that are part of a disabled person's everyday life. It specializes in developing and implementing the YES YOU CAN program in a participating agency's own health and wellness facility or any community fitness center. The primary service includes the start-up of the YES YOU CAN program which consist of staff and in-service training on working with people with physical disabilities, consistent with the goals of the YES YOU CAN program, as well as program coordination, marketing, outreach and implementing a "train-the-trainer" program, and scheduled operational reviews.
The mission of FMLLC's YES YOU CAN program is twofold: to address the needs of physically challenged people who want to exercise but need standby or hands-on assistance, and to build healthy lifestyles by providing opportunities through staff-assisted exercise and weight-training programs suitable for most ability levels.
