👉 Upcoming meeting to learn about ABLE accounts

NY ABLE will be hosting an in-person event in the Albany area on October 14th to share more about the NY ABLE program.

NY ABLE allows individuals with disabilities and their families to save for qualified disability related expenses, without limiting their ability to benefit from federal benefit programs such as SSI, SSDI and Medicaid. NY ABLE offers multiple investment options including a checking account and debit card option allowing individuals with disabilities to maintain their independence and have quick and easy access to their own money. Earnings on investments can grow tax-deferred and are tax-free if withdrawals are used for qualified disability expenses.

Registration is required for this event.
Registration will close on October 14, 2026 @ 5:00pm

HELP FUND THE BOARD!

We’re excited to share that The Third Space has been approved to install a new playground communication board in a Saratoga Springs park.

Communication boards use words and picture symbols to help children communicate while they play. They can be especially helpful for nonspeaking and minimally speaking children, AAC users, autistic children, children with language delays, and anyone who benefits from visual supports.

Our goal is to raise $3,000 to cover the customized, weather-resistant board, mounting frame, and professional installation.

Every donation brings us closer to creating a playground where more children can communicate, connect, and participate.

Not able to donate? Please share this post to help us spread the word.

More ways to communicate. More ways to play.

🎅 **Santa is coming back to Kringle Kottage!** 🎄

We’re working hard behind the scenes getting everything ready for Santa’s return—and we can’t wait to open the doors again!

✨ **Visits begin Saturday, November 21!** ✨

Kringle Kottage is a **sensory-friendly, fully accessible Santa experience** created especially for neurodivergent and special needs children and adults.

This year, we’ll be at the **Fort William Henry Resort in Lake George, NY**, where families can enjoy a magical visit with Santa without the crowds, noise, long lines, and waiting that can make a traditional Santa visit overwhelming.

Visits are **by appointment, with one family at a time—and they are absolutely FREE!** ❤️

Kringle Kottage is made possible through the generosity of our many amazing donors, who believe that **every child and adult deserves the opportunity to experience the magic of Christmas with Santa.**

But there's something special happening **the night before Santa arrives...** 👀🎄

On **Friday, November 20**, we're hosting our **Kringle Kottage Fundraising Gala** at the **Fort William Henry Carriage House**!

And yes... **Santa himself will be there!** 🎅 He'll be helping us celebrate the beginning of another Christmas season, and guests will have the opportunity to meet Santa and take photos with him.

More details about the gala—and everything else we have planned for this Christmas season—are coming soon.

And if you thought last year was magical...

**Wait until you see what we have planned for this year.** 🌲✨🎅

**Santa’s getting ready. Are you?** ❤️
