Who is TELIC Empowerment
Our Story & Mission
TELIC Empowerment is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, founded by four African American moms, each with a child with a disability. TELIC’s mission is to Teach, Empower, Listen, Include and Care for families with children and young adults with disabilities by teaching parent advocacy, helping families increase access to local resources, providing monthly supportive and inclusive community programs, building strong partnerships, and educating communities on disability awareness. TELIC primarily targets families with children and young adults with disabilities, in communities of color, that currently reside in the following Greater Atlanta Metropolitan counties within the state of Georgia: Cobb, Clayton, Dekalb, Douglas, Fulton, Gwinnett, Henry, Newton, Richmond, Rockdale. Help us expand our reach by volunteering, donating, sponsoring an event or partnering with us today!

TELIC Empowerment enjoyed a fun-filled Movie Day, watching Spider Man: A Brand New Day, designed especially for families of youth and young adults with disabilities on August 8th! We enjoyed a relaxing morning at the movies, connected with other families, and made lasting memories in a welcoming, inclusive environment. Best of all, the admission was FREE for special needs families! We laughed, connected, and enjoyed a great movie together. We were grateful see everyone there!

I just want to say thank you to everyone who made it possible for my family to receive the voucher for the driving lessons. These small steps that I’m taking towards freedom are going to make a huge difference in our family. Thank you for being a part of the process. My children and I are grateful. Thank you so much for everyone who made it possible for us to receive the wonderful gift!
Kyra
To the ladies of Telic Empowerment, God bless you all! I cannot tell you enough how much you have helped me on this journey. From IEP’s to free pull ups to our Thanksgiving blessing! Your group has given me so much! I truly would be lost without you!
