We will strive to provide people with
differing abilities the maximum supports
needed to successfully achieve and sustain
their goals.
2. www.capabilitiesinc.biz
Wherever a door is closed to anyone because of a disability, we
must work to open it.
Wherever any job or home or means of transportation is
unfairly denied because of a disability, we must work to
change it.
Wherever any barrier stands between you and the full rights
and dignity of citizenship, we must work to remove it, in the
name of simple decency and simple justice.

Capabilities has had a huge affect- it’s hard for
people to get jobs in other markets, but I know from
my experience in working with handicapped people,
they only want to be treated like everyone else and I
want to give them an opportunity to accomplish and
achieve. Job coaches provide guidance and training
to get to that point, to supplement training, does
wonders for people and business to get people who
want to work. Accomplishment is the biggest way to
achieve empowering and independence.
