A little about us.
Here at Ability Central, we’re on a mission to expand information and communications access for those who are Deaf, disabled, and neurodiverse. We are committed to serving as an educator, convener, and resource for these communities and their allies. We accomplish these goals by making grants and funding other nonprofits with aligned missions, offering technical support to other nonprofits working to help people who are Deaf or disabled, and providing online information and resources for people with questions about disabilities and communication access.
Some helpful resources.
To learn more about how you can create inclusion in your organization or community, check out the resources below. We’re excited to have you as a partner as we work to expand inclusion and access for all.
