Jooay

Jooay connects children and youth with disabilities to leisure activities with a simple tap, and allows parents, health care providers, physical education teachers, and community organizations to locate and engage in adapted and inclusive leisure activities in their local community! The app is free for iPhone and Android users and currently lists numerous activities in all 10 provinces across Canada.

Active participation in sports, arts and other leisure activities is critical to the physical and mental health of all children, and essential to their social development and community integration. Through the Jooay app, families will be able to overcome the struggle of finding information on leisure activities that are local, accessible, inclusive, and appropriate for their children.

The Jooay App not only offers access to activities but also creates opportunities to interact with other parents, therapists, and educators in the online community, to talk about leisure successes and challenges and ways to make leisure accessible to all.

“We are always so busy trying to find activities that are right for our children…this is really what we needed to make at least this task easier! It also helps to talk to other parents and see what they are doing, what works for them that could work for us too!” (parent)

“I used to spend a lot of time trying to find sports and other activities for my students close to where they live, so they could stay active and have fun, and now this is all organized into one single place; this is really handy!” (physical education teacher in a school for children with disabilities)
