Our Mission

The Mission of ThisABILITY is to offer support and encouragement to families who have or are expecting children with special needs , to ensure they have the Resources and Information they need available to them, to Educate and Advocate, and to create Awareness and Acceptance.

 

Our goal is reach out to families who have special needs children to help make there journey a little easier. There are many resources out there for children with special needs. Alot of those resources many of the parents do not know about until there children are older. There are lots of questions and concerns, other families with special needs children can help with some of these. We want to educate families on their child's diagnosis and help them to understand it. We will encourage them to be their child's advocate. Our organization has a diversity of individuals from different professional and non-professional backgrounds.

My face may be different
But my feelings the same
I laugh and I cry
And I take pride in my gains
I was sent here among you
To teach you to love
As God in the heavens
Looks down from above
To Him I'm no different
His love knows no bounds
It's those here among you
In cities and towns
That judge me by standards
That man has imparted
But this family I've chosen
Will help me get started
For I'm one of the children
So special and few
That came here to learn
The same lessons as you
That love is acceptance
It must come from the heart
We all have the same purpose
Though not the same start
The Lord gave me life
To live and embrace
And I'll do it as you do
But at my own pace
