​Through partnerships and collaboration, we are committed to: 

• ​​Increasing global understanding & acceptance of people with disabilities

• Increasing early childhood screening & timely interventions

• Improving the transition to adulthood

• Ensuring access to reliable information & services throughout the life span

At ABET, we are working to achieve a world where all people with disabilities can reach their full potential.

Deeply ingrained in the ABET mission is a commitment to creating a more equitable, accessible, and affordable world for those who have trouble advocating for themselves. By enhancing our solutions, embracing culture and elevating diversity inside and outside of our organization, we can guide individuals and families to more relevant resources that can help them overcome obstacles they may encounter.
