TOPIC: AIM Program
Aim Seattle is a grassroots organization that works to address systemic barriers faced by people with disabilities, especially children, teens, and young adults.
People with disabilities have the same aspirations and dreams that everyone does: healthy relationships, meaningful ways to participate in society, and the resources needed to be successful. Yet as a community, people with disabilities face numerous daily challenges and systemic barriers to full participation in society. In addition to basic challenges such as transportation and housing, access to supportive services is complex and multi-faceted.
AIM is addressing these barriers by supporting Disabled community members. In 2022, AIM began a weekly Adaptive Dance Program for teens with a diverse range of disabilities supported by volunteers. Since then, we have expanded our programming to expand our dance offerings and incorporated other arts programming, including music and theater.

Kristin is thrilled to be a part of the AIM community! She brings with her a background in music therapy, music education, arts administration, and youth development work. She also brings her lived experience as an Autistic person with another invisible disability, both of which inform everything about how she approaches her work.
Her highest priority in her professional life is to foster creative spaces where young people, families, community members, staff, and volunteers feel valued, supported, and free to bring their full authentic selves. In her personal time, you can find her on outdoor adventures, crafting, and learning new things.
