Tova Sherman

Tova Sherman is a reachAbility Co-founder & Senior Project Consultant. Tova has been involved with this charitable organization since March of 2000, in which she has a diverse and instrumental role. She has built reachAbility into an organization that responds directly and effectively to the needs of our constituents and communities across Nova Scotia.

Under her capable and inspired leadership, reachAbility has grown from a basic legal referral service and education program for persons with disabilities, into a multi-service agency that today also includes research and new knowledge, legal programming, and employment and education programs.

Tova comes from a background of disability, where she feels that it is important to establish a support system for persons with disability. An organization that is for people, not for profit, and that will help persons with disabilities in any and every way that it can. Tova plans to make reachAbility a self-sustaining non-profit group, by taking Disability Awareness Training (DAT) across the country. In doing this, she will continue to raise awareness and remove the stigmas surrounding disabilities.
