About

AbilityFirst pioneered some of the very first community services in California for children with disabilities.  Additional highlights from our history include:  setting a model standard in accessibility with the design and construction of one of the first fully accessible camps in the nation; opening one of the first vocational training programs in the country for adults with disabilities; being a forerunner in supported employment helping adults with developmental disabilities succeed in competitive community jobs; and in 2011 leading a statewide effort to sponsor and secure passage of Senate Bill 309 which ensures that young adults with developmental disabilities can attend after school programs throughout high school.  At AbilityFirst, we look beyond disabilities, focus on capabilities and expand possibilities.
