History
Ability
Resources incorporated in 1976 under the name of Tulsa Independent Living
Center. We are a non-residential, community-based, consumer-controlled center for independent
living. Actual operations began in 1982. In August 1986, the agency
changed its name to Ability Resources to more accurately reflect the
expanded services and structure of our not-for-profit organization [501(c)(3)].
Mission
Ability
Resources’ mission is to assist people with disabilities in attaining
and maintaining their personal independence. One way this can be achieved
is in the creation of an environment in which people with disabilities
can exercise their rights to control and direct their own lives.
