The Ability Center of Greater Toledo

Join us in celebrating the 25th Anniversary of Olmstead v. L.C.! This landmark decision transformed lives by affirming the right of individuals with disabilities to live in their communities. At the Ability Center, we're committed to continuing this legacy of inclusion, accessibility, and empowerment. Let's honor this milestone together and keep pushing for a future where everyone belongs!

In observance of Juneteenth, The Ability Center offices will be closed today, June 19th. We will resume regular business hours, tomorrow, June 20th.

We had an inspiring day at last Friday’s Amtrak Station groundbreaking in Bryan, OH! Executive Director Stuart James represented The Ability Center on a panel with state and federal representatives, highlighting the importance of making the station ADA compliant with the upcoming accessibility updates. Thank you to all, especially our legislators and public officials, for making this a priority!

Hello everyone! All Ability Center locations will be closed on Wednesday, June 19th, in observance of Juneteenth. We will resume normal hours on Thursday, June 20th.

For Week 2 of Sportability, we added water balloons to the batting practice stations and had Norman join us, who loved fetching the balls the kids were pitching. It was great witnessing all the natural peer connections and play skills that blossomed today, which is one of the main benefits of recreation programs. We are here to have fun and build community! Join us for Week 3 on June 18th: https://lnkd.in/gDYivu82 #Sportability #Baseball
