Disability Services

Our vision is a community that is made whole through all of its members having meaningful opportunities for access to every aspect of Jewish life.

February is Jewish Disability Awareness, Acceptance & Inclusion Month (JDAIM) which reminds us that all members of our community, without regard to disability, must have access and opportunities to contribute to Jewish life – to work live, love, play, learn and worship how and where they choose.

Dedicated to raising awareness… We help people access resources and services, as well as promote inclusive practices in partnership with our agencies, synagogues, schools, and camps.

Greater MetroWest ABLE is funded by the UJA Campaign, the Joyce and Leonard Kulik Fund for Special Needs, the Lester Z. Lieberman Special Needs Fund and grants from the Eric Eliezer Levenson Foundation for Hope, the Linda Bunis Haller Foundation, and the Carl and Eleanor Leff Greater MetroWest ABLE Endowment, established by Maxine Myers z’l.
