A Message from our Executive Director & Chairman

Joshua Stuart serves as our President & CEO/ Founder of our partner organization network of agencies that offer advocacy services.

Ian Balter serves as our Executive Director of our partner organization network of agencies that offer advocacy services.

Ian started his advocacy career in 2010 when he met a group that advocated to expand services for people with different needs.

Ian now maintains an organization that helps manage Ability 4 Us advocacy groups. Ian is in charge of maintaining the network of advocacy services and is in charge of holding weekly board meetings with the team.

As we begin a new chapter in our advocacy journey, we want to thank all of our team for 10+ years of advocating for the rights of the differently-abled community as we aim to help them achieve their dreams. We as self-advocates know how important it is to have our voices heard. So we want to help others whose voice isn’t always heard get heard. We often run into these problems when advocating for ourselves. We are proud to say that because of our advocacy we now work 20 hours a week and we're getting closer to getting our independence. So remember you can do anything you put your mind to.

Josh Tyler & Heather, Executive Team
