Great organization! Truly devoted to offering the very best every single day! Continue doing what you are doing. CEO Christina Ranieri is a very knowledgeable person and very responsive to deal with!I highly recommend this organization to other persons seeking for learning new skills, outings, care and support programs.

community driven, for us by us approach

Been working with this group for a while now and they are filled with great people trying to help great people!

Got a lot of help from here they provided pet food and some winter supplies to me which was a great help

I was privileged to have worked with the staff of Ability First. They volunteered freely of their valuable time in supporting a Sir Guy Carleton student in a two week work experience placement. They were unfailingly kind and supportive of this unique program. Without them, we could not do the work we do. We are most grateful to them for their help.

Best family you could ever have

A really amazing organization that does brilliant things for people with disabilities. AFO have helped my cousin with autism really improve and come out of his shell. He is so happy when he spends time with AFO and their fellow participants. They have also done some fantastic work getting people with disabilities into housing that would otherwise have ended up homeless, a truly amazing organization.During the Pandemic, AFO have done extraordinary work in the Community and I have been fortunate to volunteer with them. They have been out in the community getting meals, PPE and other vital supplies to hundreds of people in the Ottawa area who are in need. The team is also extremely receptive to the needs of the community, listening carefully to what people require and open to all sorts of suggestions in order to further improve people's lives.

Had the pleasure of working with Christina Ranieri and Ability First Ottawa. Great group of people who knows what working with their community is all about. I am amazed at the drive, determination and community involvement from Ability First Ottawa.

I had fun while I was there but to circumstances out of my control I had to leave ..
