There is so much to learn about providing advocacy and support for those with disabilities.The more we know, the closer we can get to the goal of living a good life as valued citizens, enjoying all rights, responsibilities and benefits of citizenship. At LACL, we diligently add to and accept donations for our resource library, to assist and empower families and individuals with knowledge, support and inspiration.

Our library resourses are expanding all the time thanks the generous support of the local Family Supports for Children with Disabilities (FSCD)

Our Most Valuable Resource
The families who:

• have been through it
• are planning for it
• who are in the middle of it (whatever life stage the “it” might be)

Families are the driving force for dedicated supports for people with disabilities.  LACL represents courageous families working together to create a better world for their sons and daughters with disabilities. Their efforts, our staff and our volunteers are here for you as a living, caring and extraordinarily potent resource.
