Achieving Potential
Through Choice.

A LEGACY OF BARBARA MAIZIE

We provide direct services and advocacy to assist those we serve in achieving their highest level of personal independence and self-sufficiency.

OUR HISTORY

VistAbility is a non-profit community-based organization founded in 1965 by parents and family members of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Over the years, our services have expanded to include people of all ages with developmental disabilities and other complex needs in communities across the East Bay.
