Do you know of an individual with a developmental disability who can use the internet and wants friends? Please consider logging on to the website below. This site also has a section for children and young adults up to age 40 yrs old. By the way ....there is also a section for parents and professionals.

Yes...it's free...read on.

I talked this afternoon with Michelle McClure, Executive Director of Ability On-line in Canada. Michelle said the beauty of the internet is it's not required that you live in Canada. People from all over North America use "Ability on-line."
It's monitored for safety. Read on...then share this site with someone who can reap the benefits.

Here, young people with disabilities and illnesses connect with all kinds of possibilities that address their needs for friendship, support and information. They meet and chat with other people like them in a virtual world that transcends boundaries and barriers. They make friends, get tips from mentors, and freely participate in an atmosphere of collaboration, companionship and support.

And this remarkable community also provides many benefits to parents, family members and others who want to make a difference in enabling and enriching the lives of those they know and love.

Note: The information provided is designed to support, not replace, the relationship that exists between a client and the professionals from whom her/she is receiving treatment/service.

What Ability Online is not is a highly trafficked, public online area (we do no host any form of advertisement on our member pages), where anyone can come and go and chat and boast and bully and engage in all those dubious behaviors the Internet is accused of breeding. Ability Online is available
24 hours a day and is monitored by caring, responsible volunteers who share in the dream of a place where worries are set aside, heartaches are healed,
and good things happen to those with hardship in their lives
