History Ability Resources incorporated
in 1976 under the name of Tulsa Independent Living Center. We are a
non-residential, community-based, consumer-controlled center for
independent living. Actual operations began in 1982. In August 1986,
the agency changed its name to Ability Resources to more accurately
reflect the expanded services and structure of our not-for-profit
organization [501(c)(3)].
Mission Ability
Resources’ mission is to assist people with disabilities in attaining
and maintaining their personal independence. One way this can be
achieved is in the creation of an environment in which people with
disabilities can exercise their rights to control and direct their own
lives.
