Our Vision

We believe in an affordable, accessible world where persons with disabilities can actively engage in every aspect of their lives wherever they live, work, or play.

Impactful Programs

Our programs help persons with disabilities improve their quality of life through health and wellness, education and economic empowerment. Our current programs include adaptive wellness classes, self-defense classes, financial grants, and advocating for affordable, accessible housing.

Critical Partnerships

We work with community organizations, state and local government, health systems and companies to improve the quality of life for persons with disabilities, educate the community, build networks among persons with disabilities and develop relationships to grow our programs and resources.

Relatable Ambassadors

Disability Partnerships Ambassadors are individuals with disabilities who use their personal perspectives and lived experiences to advocate for accessibility and inclusion, raising awareness and supporting disability inclusion.

Pivotal Resources

We provide resources and information to help educate the community, caregivers, and disabled individuals that help people with physical impairments improve their quality of life at home, at work, and in the community.
