Mission

Our mission is to ensure that everyone has access to positive connections through building an inclusive virtual space for people who have an intellectual and/or developmental disability.

History

Friendly Connections was launched by ConnectABILITY at the end of June 2020. The aim of the program was to combat the increased social isolation and limited access to resources felt by many individuals due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
