AbilityFirst supports individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and their families, by focusing on capabilities and expanding possibilities. We create a welcoming environment where participants feel they belong and are valued. Programs are tailored to individual interests and needs, from childhood to adulthood.

You’re invited to the 51st annual Food & Wine Festival! As you enjoy a dazzling array of tastings from local chefs, cocktail bars, breweries, and wineries, you’ll be supporting the 2,000+ adults and children with disabilities served by AbilityFirst. These individuals rely on AbilityFirst for a sense of stability, which is more vital than ever for those affected by LA’s recent wildfires.

AbilityFirst Programs

Our programs provide social connection, confidence-building experiences, employment training and coaching, and engaging activities that offer families an opportunity to refresh and recharge.

We ensure equitable access to our services, regardless of income level, race/ethnicity or language.

AbilityFirst Locations

AbilityFirst provides program centers throughout Greater Los Angeles and a fully accessible sleepaway camp in the San Bernardino National Forest.
