50 years ago, parents and families created LACL so that they could work together to make a better world for their sons and daughters. Today, that collective effort is still going strong. You are never alone. We continue to place ourselves firmly behind and with families and individuals who require support and advocacy. We continue to be the persistent voice that insists on equal opportunities and quality of life for all.

If you require support, we are here for you.  We won’t turn anyone away but will work hard to help you find the best place to turn so that you or someone you love get what you need to live the full and inclusive live we all deserve.

Advocacy
If you or someone you love is in a system that discriminates or excludes simply because of a disability, we are here to help to change the system, no matter how long it takes.

Crisis Support
If you or someone you love is experiencing any kind of crisis in our community as a result of a disability, we can help get you through it.

Support Groups
Our most powerful agent for change is the families who have been exactly where you are. Let us help connect you to other families and organizations that can assist you on your journey.
