Building Brighter Futures
AbleLight College is a unique and exciting postsecondary certificate program designed to meet the higher education goals of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Through our traditional 2-year program or our new 3rd year Fellowship program, we prepare students to become independent adults living an integrated, purposeful life in their communities.
