We are so excited to kick off National Disability Employment Awareness Month!! Throughout October, we'll be highlighting some of the many businesses in the area that have hired people in our employment programs. Today we're highlighting Peachwave in #Bethel. It's because of you we're able to place more than 1,750 individuals in jobs annually in NY and CT. Thank you! #NDEAM

I want to extend my gratitude to Senator Ceci Maher for her recent visit to one of the Ability Beyond homes. It was a great opportunity for the Senator to learn about the wide range of services that are provided to over 3,000 individuals with disabilities annually by Ability Beyond, and an even better opportunity for us to demonstrate the ongoing needs of the human service nonprofit providers and, more importantly, the people they serve. #AbilityBeyond

We had an impressive turnout this weekend for our 12th Annual Ability Rocks! community concert held at Dickinson Park in Newtown CT! Attendees enjoyed music that spanned generations from a lineup of talented artists including the Willie Portera Trio, The Surf, and Split Decision, along with a special guest appearance by Steve Tracy of The Tyger Dynasty. A great time was had by all, and we can’t wait to do it again next year!
