Since its inception in 2008 the Foundation has sent youth with physical challenges to T Bar M Camps through a specialized program called Camp Hope. It started when Andrew was a camper himself at T Bar M. Since that time, T Bar M has evolved the program to include specialized training for counselors, slightly modified programming, and updated facilities for improved access. Through Foundation scholarships, youth with physical challenges get to go to camp, engage with typical campers in their cabins, and dive into stretching but supported physical activities

Believe It Foundation partners with schools and districts to scale social inclusion and create on-ramps for authentic relationships, stretching experiences, and future opportunities. Believe It Foundation partners with schools to shift from institutional inclusion to authentic social inclusion. The Foundation provides programming for schools that bring youth together around physical activity and social interaction - the Believe It Bikes in Schools Program and Partners in PE. These programs work together starting with providing adaptive bikes to our local school districts. Once the bikes are in place, PE and Special Education teachers provide regular fitness activities for students with physical challenges using the bikes. Partners in PE is the program that districts implement to train and integrate typical peers into school events centered around adaptive bikes.

 Believe It Bikes is in14 school districts:

• Boerne ISD
• East Central ISD
•  Edgewood ISD
• Harlandale ISD
• Judson ISD
• Lytle ISD
• Northside ISD 
• Schertz Cibolo Universal City ISD
•  North East ISD
• Seguin ISD
• New Braunfels ISD
•  Kerrville ISD
• Southside ISD.

he Believe It Foundation has developed a city-wide adaptive bike program that allows ALL children an opportunity to ride a bike. We understand that children with disabilities often miss out on social and physical activities that many take for granted–like riding a bicycle.

Communities In Schools programs surround students with a community of support, empowering them to stay in school and achieve in life. Our evidence-based approach, adapted to meet each community’s unique needs, is the basis for our success.

Basic Needs: A student cannot focus in the classroom if he or she is hungry, cold or tired, or cannot see the board. Site coordinators see to it that students' basic needs are met each day.

Enrichment: Our Site coordinators enroll students in a wide variety of after-school and summer programs, field trips and youth conferences to help them gain experience that is essential to meeting college and career goals.

Academic Assistance: Our site coordinators work hard to ensure that students have the resources to progress academically. From providing students with tutors to finding and creating quiet spaces where students can study, we do whatever it takes to create an optimal learning environment for our students.

Life Skills: Through one-on-one workshops, team building, and guest speakers, we work with students to develop social-emotional learning, character education, social skills building, and conflict resolution.

Behavioral Interventions: Many of our students face and overcome difficult obstacles in their lives. However, their survival skills aren’t always effective in the classroom or in the workplace. Our program teaches students positive ways to cope with anger, conflict resolution, and other strategies to keep them focused on school.

Family Engagement: Site coordinators connect families with counselors and social workers to make sure that home is a healthy, nurturing environment where a student can feel safe.

What we screen for:

• HYPERTROPHIC CARDIOMYOPATHY
• DILATED CARDIOMYOPATHY
• AORTIC ROOT ANEURYSM
• LONG QT SYNDROME
• WOLFF-PARKINSON-WHITE (WPW) SYNDROME

This Is How We Do It:

During each screening, we perform an electrocardiogram (ECG) on every student and if necessary an echocardiogram (ECHO). Screenings are administered by certified ECHO sonographers and ECG technicians. These simple, non-invasive tests allow skilled cardiologists to evaluate the structure and electrical activity of the heart to identify students who might be at risk of a cardiac event. Upon review, any teenager having an abnormal screen may be offered the opportunity to undergo a more thorough evaluation so that a plan for care can be established. We assure each teenager’s confidentiality, privacy and individual modesty is respected throughout all aspects of the screening.

Ages: 14 -18
