Tahoe Ability Program

Tahoe Ability Program is designed to create community inclusion, foster independence and promote progress for people with developmental disabilities within their community. Tahoe Ability Program strives to encourage self-advancement and assistance in reaching individualized goals. 

At Tahoe Ability Program we believe that building an inclusive community requires directed and compassionate effort to remove barriers to access, innovation to accommodate needs, and empathy to ensure opportunities are open and inviting to all.

Tahoe Ability Program focuses on building the independence necessary for each program participant to reach their full potential and meet their goals. We work to create a successful environment by adapting to specific needs, engaging our participants in meaningful activities and fostering lasting relationships. We maximize the time spent within the local community to increase interactions between our participants and other community members to enhance networking and relationship building. We are not only based in the community but we are a part of the community. 

Tahoe Ability Program ensures safe and meaningful experiences for our program participants by maintaining high standards for our program, following best practices, and continually improving Tahoe Ability Program to provide valuable experiences for each unique participant.

Tahoe Ability Program practices Person-Centered Planning strategies to ensure each participant is in control of their desired curriculum, programs and activities. We work with Alta California Regional Center and its service coordinators to determine how to best support each individual participant where they are at and to create opportunities and secure services for the diverse population we serve.
