  • Because of the Ability Center
    2018 ANNUAL REPORT What would it take for the Toledo area to be named the most disability-friendly community in the country? The Ability Center posed this question to the community in the hopes of engaging local conversation around disability and fostering change. The Disability Dialog campaign has sparked powerful discussions between many sectors: religious affiliations, civic groups, businesses, and public officials. Information collected on the campaign’s website, disabilitydialog.com, will shape our strategic plan. These initiatives will impact generations of people with and without disabilities for years to come. Planning is underway for our Centennial celebration in 2020. We are looking ahead to the future while honoring our agency’s roots. Events will be hosted throughout the year to highlight our rich history of service, evolution as an agency, and our role in creating a disability-friendly community in the region. 2018 brought new collaborative partnerships including a relationship with Agility Angels, a local dog training program for individuals living with autism. Program participants benefit from socialization and camaraderie from working with dogs as they maneuver agility courses. Fundraising efforts are underway for a new state-of-the- art training facility to be shared by Agility Angels and our Assistance Dogs for Achieving Independence (ADAI) program. Program data continues to showcase effectiveness and meaningful outcomes. Our supporters can feel confident knowing our programming is effective, non-duplicative, and consumer-centered. Countless notes and voicemails of gratitude from consumers are proof that our mission is being fulfilled. Our staff’s care and attention to detail is being noticed by those we serve.
