The focus of TRI’s annual Disability Awareness Fair is to raise public awareness of individuals with disabilities in our community and showcase a wide array of services and supports that are available to them. We invite you to encourage your staff/employees and their families to meet other participating agencies and/or businesses like yours that offer resources to promote independent living assistance to persons with all types of disabilities.
Disability is only part of who a person is,not the whole person.

The Achieving Better Life Experiences (ABLE) Account program is a powerful tool for individuals with disabilities and their families. Eligibility for certain services and supports are often bound by resource limits for individuals with disabilities. An ABLE account allows individuals and their families to save beyond those resource limits, promoting access to a more independent life.
