Power of Play – Rocky Top
Building Stronger communities
through inclusive play
At Power of Play (POP), we believe play has the power to bring people together. When everyone—children and adults of all abilities—can join in, something amazing happens.
Friendships grow. Empathy blossoms. Communities become stronger.
Inclusive play isn’t just about fun. It’s about belonging, learning, and understanding.
Every time we make space for everyone to play, we open doors to connection and kindness.
We turn our mission into action through exciting programs. We offer everything from adaptive sports like Power Soccer and Wheelchair Basketball to innovative projects like Go Baby Go and our Adapted Toys library.
Our Programs
The aim of all our programs is to create an environment where meaningful inclusion can flourish. By creating situations of “close proximity and frequent opportunity,” we let magic happen, with the end goal being the development of lasting friendships and a stronger community for all.
Adaptive Sports
Our goal is to get folks with and without disabilities playing together, preferably in a team setting. We use a concept called “reverse inclusion”—taking sports usually limited to athletes with disabilities and inviting people without disabilities to play as well.
Go Baby Go
Mobility is the first step toward inclusion. Our Go Baby Go program modifies off-the-shelf ride-on toy cars for children with disabilities, giving them the freedom to move and play alongside their peers, often for the first time. Learn about our process and how you can sponsor a car for a child in our community.
Adapted Toys
Play is essential for every child’s development. We adapt mainstream toys to make them accessible for children with physical disabilities, ensuring that no one is left on the sidelines. Discover the types of toys we adapt and how you can help us put a smile on a child’s face.
