About Ablebooks Initiative

We create beautiful and inclusive storybooks for children and students with disabilities because we believe every child deserve to see themselves in the stories they read.

Our Mission

Our mission is to create and share disability-inclusive storybooks that inspire confidence, learning, and representation for children and students with disabilities. We:

  • Feature children and students with disabilities as main characters in their stories.
  • Support educators and parents in strengthening inclusive childhood experiences.
  • Challenge stereotypes and celebrate the perspectives of children and students with disabilities.
