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.

We are dedicated to raising awareness and promoting inclusive practices for individuals with disabilities and their families. Our vision is a community in which all members have opportunities to meaningfully participate in all aspects of Jewish life.

At Greater MetroWest ABLE (Access, Belonging & Life Enrichment for People with Disabilities and Their Families), we support and collaborate with agencies, synagogues, schools, and camps to create meaningful opportunities where each individual can thrive. Through advocacy, education, and partnership, we strive to break down barriers and empower individuals with disabilities to lead fulfilling lives.

Whether you’re seeking resources, support, or simply looking to connect with like-minded individuals, our group provides a welcoming space for sharing information, experiences, and insights. Join us in our vision to create a more inclusive community where every individual is valued and celebrated.

Holidays can be stressful, overwhelming—no doubt about it.

Holidays can be stressful, overwhelming—no doubt about it. But here’s the thing: This Thanksgiving, we have the opportunity to pause. To really take a moment to appreciate the blessings we do have. This is the perfect time to slow down, prioritize self-care, and use that positivity to manage any challenging emotions that pop up.

Wishing everyone a happy Thanksgiving!

And remember, when things get tough, Greater MetroWest ABLE is here to help. We’ve got resources to support the emotional well-being of teens, young adults, and those who care for them. Visit: www.jfedgmw.org/mentalhealth.
