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.

THANK YOU to our amazing nurses at AbleLight! This week marks National Nurse’s Week, and we’re excited to celebrate the contributions of nurses across the world.

March is Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month! Learn about the history of this month and see how we’re celebrating this year.

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.

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

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?

On May 14, we were honored to watch as six AbleLight College students crossed the stage and accepted their certificates. See the video.

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

It’s a time for deep reflection and big ideas—but it’s also a time to remember all the little things we can each do every day to continue raising awareness about people with disabilities in our own communities.

It’s a new year and we have a new name! In alignment with our new name, this blog is now the AbleLight Empowerment Blog.
