Adelante Development Center, Inc.

Having choices is empowering. Choice helps us to realize our dreams. At Adelante, we understand that this is especially true for people with disabilities. Our mission is to support people with disabilities as they discover and implement their personal goals in life.

Adelante's services are community-based and include programs for people who are physically or mentally disabled (including people with severely disabling conditions), those who have chronic neuromuscular diseases, and those who are disabled simply due to the aging process.

Adelante is a nonprofit agency founded in Albuquerque, New Mexico. We currently have locations in Albuquerque, Rio Rancho, Belen, Artesia, and Los Lunas. Adelante, which means ‘forward’ in Spanish, describes our approach to supporting people with disabilities. Too many people are taught to stay where they are and accept the limitations of stereotypes and society. Adelante says, "Set goals and we will help you achieve them."

We hope you find this website helpful in discovering the many choices available today for people with disabilities, and if you are a volunteer or prospective donor, the ways you can help Adelante help people achieve their goals. You can learn more about Adelante’s history, get an overview of current programs and news in the Agency Facts section, and find out about current job opportunities.
