Support Groups at ACIL

Have you ever wondered how other people with similar disabilities live independently?

At ACIL, we have support groups (i.e., Autism Support Group, Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), and General Support Group) led by people with disabilities. These groups meet monthly to talk about important topics that members choose themselves—issues that others might not understand. Members are building confidence, improving their social skills, and creating a support network, especially for those who are newly disabled.

Since our groups wanted to take part in fun activities together, ACIL set up a small fund from donations to help them enjoy recreational outings. So far, the group has gone bowling several times, taken fishing trips, and even had their own Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners to celebrate the holidays.

If you have a disability and want to join one of our groups, please call us at (304) 965-0376 or TTY (800) 642-3003. We’d love to have you!
