As we reflect on 2024, we're proud to share The Ability Challenge's journey toward building effective school communities where all students, especially those with disabilities, can thrive.
Last year marked significant progress in our mission to ensure that 1 million students with disabilities are on track to graduate ready to take on the world. Through partnerships with dedicated schools and districts, we've expanded our reach to over 22,000 students with disabilities, trained 125 educators in inclusive practices, and provided coaching to 204 educational leaders.
The impact of this work extends beyond numbers to transforming mindsets, strengthening systems, and creating environments where diverse learners are truly valued and supported. Our 2024 Impact Report highlights these achievements and the collaborative work that continues to drive positive change in special education across the country. We invite you to celebrate these milestones with us and join our commitment to educational success for all learners.
