Our Vision

We believe that every person can learn, communicate and participate. We strive to make this vision real by creating tools and programs that create unlimited opportunities for everyone who is challenged by complex disabilities worldwide.

Our History

We were founded in a preschool developmental achievement center volunteer project in 1985. In the first five years as a nonprofit, sales grew from $20,000 to $900,000. In 1990 AbleNet, Inc. became an independent for-profit enterprise. In 1998, it became 100% employee owned. The past years have brought significant growth and healthy profitability in an industry that continues to expand due to the intense need people with disabilities experience and the technological opportunities that continue to develop.

Our Commitment

We create simple-to-use assistive technology products and educational programs that empower people with complex physical and cognitive disabilities. Our products and programs have been used in thousands of included and self-contained classrooms around the world for over two decades. Whether you are new to using simple assistive technology or are already an expert teacher/trainer, therapist, caregiver or parent, we will support you with fun and meaningful learning experiences that will save you time and help demonstrate your effectiveness. Above all else, our goal is to make teaching students with disabilities effective, fun, easier and, hopefully, deeply fulfilling.
