AbleLight College at Concordia University is a two or three-year post-secondary college program at Concordia University that provides students with intellectual and developmental disabilities the opportunity to turn their dreams of a college experience and education into reality!  We help prepare students for independent and adult living by providing them a full range of college and life experiences.  Students receive a blended model of instruction centered on their intellectual, vocational, social, personal and spiritual growth. Students take both AbleLight College Courses and Concordia University Courses with support and modifications/accommodations.  Students live in the dorms with support from Concordia University students too!  Our goal is to prepare students to take their place in the larger community as independent adults, as employed citizens living an integrated, purposeful life while contributing to their community.  To accomplish this we developed a sequence and schedule of formal and informal instruction in four key areas: academics, career preparation, adult living skills, and campus and community life.  Watch Video.

Additional Information about AbleLight College and application form available on: https://ablelightcollege.org/
If this sounds like the program for you, your student or someone you may know, please reach out to Erik Halling, Admissions Coordinator for AbleLight College at 262-243-2213 for more information and to set up a college tour!

Aging & Disability Resource Center of Racine County (ADRC) provides older adults and adults with physical or intellectual/developmental disabilities the resources needed to live with dignity and security, and achieve maximum independence and quality of life. The goal of the ADRC is to empower individuals to make informed choices and to streamline access to the right and appropriate services and supports.

ADRCs provide a central source of reliable and objective information about a broad range of programs and services. They help people understand and evaluate the various options available to them. By enabling people to find resources in their communities and make informed decisions about long-term care, ADRCs help people conserve their personal resources, maintain self-sufficiency and delay or prevent the need for potentially expensive long-term care. ADRCs also serve as the single access point for publicly funded long-term care.

BOLD (Blind Outdoor Leisure Development)

BOLD serves blind and low vision individuals in South Eastern Wisconsin by providing outdoor and leisure activities free of charge and includes transportation. BOLD is supported primarily by donations from local Lions Clubs. Our primary activities are skiing, both downhill and cross-country and tandem cycling. There are other athletic and social events such as canoeing, fishing, water skiing, roller/ice skating, bowling, picnics, plays and visits to area museums. We are open to all suggestions made by our BVI members for adding events. We have even implemented virtual games ( BINGO, Family Feud, Trivia). Each participant is paired up with a sighted guide and we encourage family members or friends to participate, also at no charge. In the case of skiing and biking we do have highly skilled guides. Our participants range in ages 6 and up.

Jill’s House is a nonprofit organization that provides overnight camp for school-aged kids (6-17) with a diagnosed intellectual disability. While their diagnosis might keep them from a typical camp experience, Jill’s House tailors weekend adventures just for them. From archery to the giant swing, pontoon boat rides and campfire s’mores, Jill’s House campers get it all! And while the kids are living their best lives at camp, their families enjoy some much-needed and hard-sought respite. Adventure for incredible kids and a rhythm of rest for their families – it’s a win-win!

Weekend Adventures run Friday evening through Sunday noon and are currently offered every other month, with the goal of serving our families two to three times each year. Campers are dropped off and picked up at Covenant Harbor, in Lake Geneva, WI.
