From Uncertainty to Independence | Supported Living with AbleLight

As Debbie held her first born son, Ryan, in her arms, she imagined a future of cheering for him on the football field. Everything changed when Ryan was diagnosed with Tourette syndrome, ADHD, OCD, and later schizophrenia. Debbie’s vision of the future for Ryan was now clouded with uncertainty and worry. But today, Ryan is thriving. With support from AbleLight’s Supported Living Services, Ryan now lives in his own apartment, building confidence, independence, and meaningful relationships along the way. AbleLight’s Supported Living Services help people with developmental disabilities gain independence, build life skills, and live successfully in their communities. From learning everyday skills like cooking, paying bills, and grocery shopping to forming genuine friendships with the staff who support him, Ryan is creating the life he wants to live. In this inspiring story, Ryan, his mom Debbie, and his AbleLight instructor Ronnie share how the right support system can empower people with developmental disabilities to live independently and pursue their goals. Ryan’s story is a powerful reminder that with compassion, support, and opportunity, independence is possible.
