by AbleVoices
AbleVoices began as a programme of The Arc Williamson County and became an independent 501(c)(3) in 2019. Based in Middle Tennessee, it is built on the belief that photography communicates strengths, interests, and experiences in ways that transcend verbal and written language — making it especially powerful for people with communication and cognitive differences.
AbleVoices runs year-round Photography Club programmes — in-person across scenic Middle Tennessee locations and virtually for remote participants — for ages 14 and older. The Photo Academy provides in-studio and community work-based learning for photographers developing advanced skills and job readiness. A Photography for Self-Expression course is delivered in schools and organisations. A Reflection and Connection programme uses photography to foster meaningful conversation with older adults experiencing dementia.
Teens and adults (age 14+) living with physical, intellectual, developmental, or learning disabilities, chronic illness, or mental health conditions, as well as older adults with dementia through a dedicated programme strand.
Music and Memory trains care facilities and families to create personalised playlists for people with dementia and other cognitive conditions, helping them reconnect with memories, reduce anxiety, and improve quality of life. Over 5,800 organisations across the US and internationally have been certified in their programme since 2010.
