About Can Do!
Can
Do! was founded, created and launched in October 1997
by ability awareness educator and school counselor, Maribeth
Bush. Since then, through evergrowing grassroots support,
Can Do! has reached and inspired children, teens, and adults in
over 16 countries around the world. The Can Do! community includes
students, teachers, school counselors, scout leaders, social workers,
parents, grandparents, friends, artists, authors, and members
of other organizations and businesses that support and share Can
Do!'s mission.
The overall mission of the Can Do! is to help people,
especially kids, develop a more positive attitude and perspective
about themselves and the people in the world around them. Can
Do! works toward this mission by using "ability awareness" to
help kids focus on what they each CAN do... regardless
of their challenges. In essence, Can Do! is dedicated to helping
children reach their unique true potential by fostering
a proactive, "can do" attitude that helps expand their vision
of possibilities within themselves, in others, and in their
futures.
Can Do! encourages the celebration of
individual differences and the abilities we all
have. |
