… Probably, like most of us, a life filled with…

• opportunities to do what we enjoy and are good at
• friends and family who like to spend time with us
• having a sense of control in our life
• meaningful work and other activities that build a sense of pride
• being appreciated and respected for who we are
• contributing to our neighbourhood and community
• a home that we can invite others to
• getting the unique support we need to be all we can be

ABLE was your local vehicle to help make that happen for members of our community with intellectual disabilities.

It was parents, family members and allies working together to remove the barriers to a good life for our loved ones, and to build a more inclusive community for all.

With the onset of Covid pandemic, we switched to connecting virtually or socially distanced to continue learning about one another’s hopes and challenges, educating ourselves, hearing about “best practices” and successful initiatives in other communities, developing practical strategies to meet local needs, and supporting one another on this challenging but inspirational journey. Subsequently, those who wished to continue connecting for mutual support have done so but ABLE discontinued as an active initiative of KWCC.
