Noble: 70+ Years of Dedication to Community and Inclusion. Conversation with Molly Lang

Noble is a landmark organization and support system in central and eastern Indiana, dedicated to expanding opportunities and enhancing the quality of life for people with disabilities and their families through individualized services.Molly Lang is Director of Therapy Services, and joins me today to talk about how Noble has grown and evolved over the past 70 years. Originally started as a school, they now have several branches that provide services for adults with IDD. Some of their branches offer services to children, and Noble also provide autism services like ABA.Noble started by a group of parents coming together to form a school in the 1950s, when their children were otherwise excluded from school, and these parents believed that their children could learn. It has evolved into programs such as early intervention, summer camps, music therapy, and employment services.Of course, we are at a crucial juncture at this moment in time, and Molly provides insights into funding through Medicaid waivers, advocacy training, support networks for families, and practical steps for families seeking resources and services for children with disabilities.Noble has long been dedicated to not just improving quality of life for people with disabilities and their families, but to the importance of community integration, so that we can all live and thrive together. Because the more we stay in our own silos, the less understanding, appreciation and joy we will get from others in this diverse society.How to reach Molly Lang and Noble:Website ⁠⁠⁠- www.mynoblelife.org/Email - [email protected] ⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠on ⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠on ⁠⁠⁠YouTubeContact Tabitha:[email protected]
