The difference Disability Services makes

Our goal is to empower individuals to achieve their full potential with the support of their community. We create opportunities for each individual to enhance her/his quality of life through goal setting and personal achievement.

Who we serve

We were first established to provide support to women having a child living with disabilities.

Today, our services are expanded to include all adults and children with disabilities, and their families. From infants to seniors, we support everyone we can to ensure all those who come into our care are given every opportunity to live their best life.
