Advocacy & Inclusion

April is Autism Acceptance Month, and for people with autism, acceptance means more than being seen. Learn about what acceptance means in everyday life.

Our mission is rooted in Christian love, living the way Jesus taught us to love through compassion, service, and care for others. Christian love is not simply something we talk about. It is something we live out in the way we care for and support others each day.

This year, our theme, Power in Possibilities, highlights how the right supports, opportunities, and attitudes can shape lives of independence, purpose, and belonging.

As the new year begins, many of us are thinking about what it means to live with more purpose, connection, and care for others. One powerful place to focus is supporting people with developmental disabilities in everyday life. 

For many people with developmental disabilities holidays can bring extra stress when gatherings are loud, crowded, or not planned with accessibility in mind. Here are some tips to help make your holiday celebrations more inclusive.

There’s something powerful about being part of a crowd, sharing the same excitement, and cheering for the same team. For people with developmental disabilities, moments like these are more than just fun; they’re a reminder that they belong.  

July 26 is a significant day for the disability community. It’s the 35th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) becoming law, and we at AbleLight are excited to celebrate!
