ON A MISSION!

The Meyer Foundation for Disabilities is dedicated to enhancing the lives of the thousands of adults with disabilities in the Omaha metro area by offering them recreational, social and life skills programs. Cooking classes, dance and swim lessons, group outings and yoga classes are among the many activities we help to provide.
​

IMPROVING LIVES

Besides offering fun, the programs are therapeutic, improving physical and cognitive, capabilities. They promote inclusion for people with disabilities, who often become isolated when they age out of the school system. And they provide hours of much-needed respite, or a break, for families and caregivers. ​

​PARTNERSHIP

We support specialized programming offered by the professional staff of the University of Nebraska Medical Center's renowned Munroe-Meyer Institute. In addition, we partner with other organizations who share our interest and passion for improving the lives of adults with disabilities in our community. 

WHO WE SERVE

The Meyer Foundation for Disabilities (MFD) serves some of the most vulnerable people in our community—adults with developmental disabilities.
Developmental disabilities are severe and chronic disabilities attributable to mental and/or physical impairment. Many with developmental disabilities, like those with Down syndrome, were born with their impairments, and nearly all see onset during childhood.
