Disability Connections is a nonprofit organization serving Colorado Springs with a mission to support children and adults with developmental disabilities. We strive to remove the financial obstacles that limit access to quality services, helping individuals and families receive the care and opportunities they deserve.
Through our partnership with A Cognitive Connection, LLC, a Program Approved Service Agency (PASA), we help provide behavioral, cognitive, and supported living services that improve quality of life and promote independence. In addition, Disability Connections works to create scholarships, funding opportunities, and other resources that expand access to vital services.
By empowering individuals with developmental disabilities to grow, achieve, and thrive, we are not only enriching their lives but also building a stronger, more inclusive Colorado Springs community for all.
Thank you to the amazing community for all the support!
