2016 Heroes of Ability - Stanley
We believe that every person with disabilities is a valued member of the community, and are proud to have a variety of vocational services to help those who want to re-enter the workforce.

The Power of Social and Emotional Learning
It matters when children can’t manage their feelings or make friends. As a society we take for granted the role emotional and social capabilities play in building children’s character and resiliency. And we’ve neglected to address its significance among children with special needs. But when children were being kicked out of school and parents were desperate for help, BC Centre for Ability knew it had to do something.
