Thanksgiving is a meaningful time to pause and recognize the people who help our mission come to life every day. At AbleLight, that gratitude begins with those who walk alongside individuals with developmental disabilities so they can be loved, secure, and flourishing in their communities.  

This summer, we’re celebrating our 120th anniversary! We’re excited to reflect on our rich history and our commitment to serving individuals with developmental disabilities. We have been blessed to support over 9,000 individuals since our doors first opened in 1904, and one story that truly illustrates the AbleLight mission is Paul’s.

As the new year approaches, we would like to reflect on the amazing year that AbleLight had and share highlights from the 2023 Impact Report.

As Thanksgiving approaches, we pause to express deep gratitude to extraordinary AbleLight Team members. At AbleLight, we believe the world shines brighter when individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities can live up to their potential.

2022 was a big year at AbleLight. We changed our name, welcomed a new CEO, expanded our programs in Colorado and so much more!

See what’s new this year at AbleLight College, a unique two-year certificate program designed to meet the higher education goals of students with I/DD.

This Father’s Day, Team AbleLight would like to recognize and pay tribute to all those dads out there who rise to the challenge, often while quaking in their boots. What do fathers of kids with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) do that’s so amazing?

Mother’s Day is upon us once again! At AbleLight, we especially like to celebrate all the mothers of children with disabilities like Sandy.
