Located in the heart of Reading, PA, Abilities in Motion is a respected non-profit organization dedicated to delivering compassionate disability services and support. With a mission to empower individuals and families affected by disabilities, AIM blends practical assistance with a strong sense of community.

LEAP Gently Used Equipment Program

One of AIM’s flagship initiatives is the LEAP (Loan Equipment Assistance Program), a donation-driven, sustainable solution for medical supplies. By accepting and redistributing gently used canes, walkers, wheelchairs and more, AIM transforms resources that might otherwise go unused into essential tools for independence. Customers rave about the affordability and convenience of LEAP:

• “They are now accepting donations for gently used medical equipment…helps to pay it forward!”

Whether you’re decluttering a closet or seeking a reliable mobility aid on short notice, the LEAP program embodies AIM’s commitment to recycling resources and strengthening local ties.

Abilities in Motion takes a holistic approach to disability support, offering a suite of programs tailored to each individual’s needs. Key offerings include:

• Companion Services: One-on-one support to enhance community participation, from errands and appointments to social activities.
• Respite Services: Temporary relief for primary caregivers, ensuring families get a needed break while their loved ones are in capable hands.

Clients praise AIM’s expertise in navigating complex waiver systems and identifying supplemental programs: “Very helpful for getting the waiver and suggesting other assistance,” writes one reviewer. These resources not only remove financial barriers but also open doors to new opportunities for independence and self-advocacy.
