Message from our CEO
10 years ago, one of our most generous volunteers dubbed LaunchAbility® the “little agency that could.” Since then we have grown 400%, from $2.5 million annual revenue to $10 million; 35 staff members to 140, and one location to four. In 2012 we’ll improve the futures of nearly 4000 babies and adults with developmental disabilities and improve quality of daycare for 6000 babies and toddlers. The best news about our growth is our ability to put a larger percentage of our revenue to direct service. In fact the cost per client in our ECI and Supported Employment programs has dropped from $3600 to $2800.
We have the audacity to keep saying “We think we can” as we dare to change old ways with new programs like Child Care Champions® and The Academy located at UT Southwestern Medical which just completed its first year! But when it comes to our clients and their families it’s “not, we think you can” but we KNOW you can as we help them realize their dreams.
We make every attempt to be responsive to our clients, the community and to our donors. Please contact me at
