Arizona Bridge to Independent Living (ABIL) Charity Profile
ABIL began in 1977 as the Arizona Congress for Action. ACA was a group of people with diverse physical disabilities who started a grass roots effort to educate the broader community about disability-related issues in the Central Arizona area. In 1978, Congress enacted Independent Living Center legislation as part of the amended Rehabilitation Act of 1973. In 1981, Arizona Bridge to Independent Living received funding and opened services. Today, ABIL offers a full range of programs for individuals with disabilities and family members, employers and co-workers with disability concerns.
