  • NY ABLE Presentation *Virtual* September 21, 2023  6:00 pm - 7:30 pm Zoom Presentation

    Taconic Resources for Independence, Inc. | NYS Comptroller's Office

    Registration can be accessed through by clicking or scanning the QR code on the attached flyer.

    The Achieving a Better Life Experience (ABLE) Account program is a powerful tool for individuals with disabilities and their families.

    Eligibility for certain services and supports are often bound by resource limits for individuals with disabilities. An ABLE account allows individuals and their families to save beyond those resource limits, promoting access to a more independent life.

    We encourage every person interested in learning more to attend one of our three presentations.

    ASL Interpreter available by request. Please contact Sarah Drake at s.drake@taconicresources.org at least two weeks in advance.
