AMBUCS National Projects

AmBility and AMBUCS Scholars are the two national service projects of AMBUCS. Within the AmBility project is the AmTryke program. This program is designed to give children with disabilities their first set of wheels. This unique therapeutic tricycle is hand and/or foot driven. It improves motor coordination, increases self-esteem and is fun to ride!

A long-running success story, the AMBUCS Scholars- Scholarships for Therapists, project represents the largest single private source of educational grants for therapists in America. AMBUCS has provided over 5 million dollars to educate physical and occupational therapists, speech pathologists and hearing audiologists.
