About The Ability Center

The Ability Center is a non-profit independent living center in Northwest Ohio. The Center serves seven Ohio counties: Defiance, Fulton, Henry, Lucas, Ottawa, Williams and Wood; with satellite offices in Defiance and Ottawa counties.

Our Mission is: To assist people with disabilities to live, work and socialize within a fully accessible community. We do this by providing a variety of services including: Information and Referral, Advocacy, Community Living, Youth Services and Independent Living Skills Services, Peer Support, and more.

The Center also provides adaptive cooking classes, basic budgeting classes, instruction on navigating local public transportation, minor disability-related bathroom modifications and constructs access ramps for homes. The Center also provides information and referral to local, state and national disability and independent living resources.

The Ability Center assists in the Individualized Education Plan (IEP) process for children with disabilities in local schools and provides leadership training and opportunities for adolescents with disabilities. The Center links individuals with disabilities to local recreation activities, as well as running Camp Cricket -- a summer day camp for children with and without disabilities.
