TELIC services families with youth and young adults with disabilities, ages 3-30. All disabilities are welcome, and no family is ever turned away.

TELIC Empowerment was founded in 2018 by four African American mothers of children with disabilities, who were determined to provide support, education, and better access to disability resources for the under-resourced counties where they live.

TELIC launched with a monthly parent support group to empower and teach under-served families and an inclusive art education event, Strokes for a Cause. The organization grew to provide free customized disability resource referral services, inclusive community programs, parent education, and emergency financial assistance grants to special needs families in crisis in all metro Atlanta and surrounding counties.

Our Mission
TELIC Empowerment’s mission is to Teach, Empower, Listen, Include and Care for families with children and young adults with disabilities.

Our Vision
We provide a safe, inclusive, supportive, and informative community that will help families living with children and adults with disabilities develop their own pathway to future success. We envision a world where people with disabilities will be heard and understood, fully included and treated with dignity and respect.
