Transportation

Driving/Parking

Mount Ida is easily accessible by car, and is 5 minutes off of I-95. There is abundant parking on-campus, including accessible spots immediately surrounding the gymnasium.

Public Transportation

The closest MBTA station is Newton Centre on the Green Line D Branch. From there, you can board Bus 52 at Cypress St & Braeland Ave outbound towards Dedham Mall. Exit at Dedham St & Carlson Ave. From there it is a 10 minute walk to the clinic.

Mount Ida is within the radius of The Ride – Massachusett's paratransit service.

Many locals find The Ride to be unreliable at times, so we recommend utilizing the accessible Uber/Lyft system as a first choice.

Flying

The closest airport is Boston Logan International Airport (BOS). There are accessible shuttles from the airport directly into the city where you can transfer to the subway and train lines.

Food

We will be providing lunch each day of the clinic for all participants, volunteers, and PCAs/aides. If you have any dietary restrictions, please be sure to list them in the registration form.

Eligibility

Participants must be at least 7 years old

Participants must be residents of the United States of America

Participants must have a disability or chronic condition that affects mobility.

Due to the nature of the sport and for safety concerns, participants must be able to control a wheelchair using a joystick, remain seated in an upright position for extended periods of time, see clearly, and follow directions.

We are able to modify the equipment to suit various needs of athletes, including adding ventilator mounts, headrests, laterals, cushioning, and more!
