Putting Ability in Action for
over 70 years
Our roots trace back to 1951 when a group of parents with special needs children created an organization to give people with IDD opportunities for socialization, enrichment, and education. In the decades since we’ve evolved to serve participants with an added focus on supported integrated employment and the valuable life skills that have always been a part of our mission.
With a proven track record in Supported Employment, EmployAbility prepares people with IDD for the workforce – identifying job prospects, preparing for interviews, and providing job coaching to ensure success.
EmployAbility also connects adults with IDD to daily volunteer opportunities and enrichment activities to become more confident, valued, and engaged in the community.
