About the National Ability Center
The Programs
The National Ability Center offers recreational activities for individuals with physical and cognitive disabilities and their family and peers. Our programs allow individuals of all abilities to discover their own strengths and interests.

The Ability Center provides thousands of lessons each year which attests not only to the success of the organization and its programs, but also to the recreational and social needs of people with disabilities. Through the use of adapted equipment, trained instructors, volunteers, and specialized techniques, the Ability Center helps to facilitate athletic endeavors and encourages physical activity.

The Mission
The National Ability Center is committed to the development of lifetime skills for people of all ages and abilities by providing affordable sports and recreational experiences in a nurturing environment. The objective of these experiences is to build self-esteem, confidence and physical development, thereby enhancing active participation in all aspects of community life. As a national role model, the Center promotes the concept of ability through integration, public awareness and education.

Founded in 1985, the National Ability Center is a non-profit, tax-exempt organization. Programs are supported through special events, grants from private corporations and foundations, individual donations and program fees. All activities are offered at an affordable rate and scholarships are available, ensuring no one is denied participation due to an inability to pay.
