A.I.M.(Adults in Motion)

Supporting adults with disabilities to build skills, confidence, independence, and meaningful community connections.

Building Skills, Confidence & Community Connections

AIM is a community-based vocational and life skills service supporting adults with intellectual and physical disabilities in the Warkworth and Rodney region.

We provide meaningful opportunities for adults to develop independence, build relationships, learn new skills, and actively participate in their community.

Through personalised support and engaging programmes, we help each person work towards their goals while fostering confidence, wellbeing, and a sense of belonging.

We are based in the wonderful town of Warkworth in the Rodney District, just north of Auckland, New Zealand.

Our Approach

At AIM, we believe every person has strengths, talents, and aspirations worth developing. We follow the ENABLING GOOD LIVES approach, based on the 8 principles: Self-determination; Beginning early; Person-centred; Ordinary life outcomes; Mainstream first; Mana enhancing; Easy to use; Relationship building.

Our programmes are designed around individual goals and interests, encouraging participants to make choices, build practical skills, and engage in meaningful experiences within their community.

Working alongside families, support networks, and funding agencies, we create opportunities that promote inclusion, independence, and personal growth.
