Abilities Network Details
History & OrganizationThe Epilepsy Association of Maryland was incorporated in 1964 by a group of physicians and parents of children with epilepsy who recognized a need for more than just medical treatment for individuals with epilepsy. As time progressed, the organization began providing services to individuals with varying types of disabilities. To reflect a broader targeted population, Abilities Network (AN) was incorporated in 2000, and has grown from the volunteer-driven facilitation of support groups and public/professional education to our current extensive and varied organization. Through its many expansions over the past 40+ years, AN continues to work hand-in-hand with its sister organization, the Epilepsy Foundation of the Chesapeake Region (EFCR). Today over 10,000 people are served statewide through a multiplicity of programs and services made available to individuals diagnosed with varying disabilities and to families at-risk.MissionTo challenge the community to acknowledge the value and equality of people of all abilities.Programs*Autism Services - Program works with individuals with autism and provides families with the strategies and resources.*Community & Employment Partners - Program is designed to support adults with disabilities to live and work in their communities. *Epilepsy Services - Program serves individuals, families and the greater community with epilepsy education, information and referral services, advocacy, support groups and scholarship support.*Healthy Families Baltimore County - Program offers in-home support to expectant families and new parents. *Project ACT - The goal of this program is to make it possible for families and child care professionals to successfully include children of all abilities. *Senior Services - Program offers a Speaker Series.
