Welcome to the October 2025 Resources for the IDD Community!

Every Body Athletics’ mission is to make a lasting impact on the physical, social, and emotional well-being of adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (ID/DD) through inclusive group exercise.

EBA runs in-person classes in the Greater Portland area and online classes via Zoom! EBA serves adults who have aged out of special education (21 and over) who come from day programs, supported living settings, or those still living with their parents/guardians.

Designed by staff with Master’s degrees in Special Education, Doctoral degrees in Occupational Therapy, and dual certifications in Personal Training and Special Populations Personal Training, each weekly EBA class provides specialized, adaptive exercises that focus on participants’ specific physical needs while inserting time for social practice along the way.

Classes include a 1:1-2 ratio of teammates without disabilities to promote inclusion and increased participation.
