Testimonials

Read How Others Benefit From Our Services

I learned that having a disability is a vital part of my life, that leadership and self-advocacy are two of many things that must be used to take charge of my own life so I can be independent. I’ve learned to be proud of my disability, to embrace it.

A.P.AZYLF, Class of 2014

I’ve learned that people can do amazing things if they set their mind to it and with someone to help start their journey. Just because you have a disability doesn’t mean there’s anything holding you back.

K.M.AZYLF, Class of 2015

I am learning to accept myself for who I am and what I plan to become. AZYLF showed me to never be afraid to try new things with different people. It opened my eyes to different things. The person we want to be is the person we decide to become.
