About Us

The A Look Ahead (ALA) Conference began in 2015 as a collaborative effort to support individuals with disabilities and those who care for them. Through expert-led sessions and practical resources, ALA equips families, caregivers, and professionals to plan confidently for the future.

Rooted in advocacy and connection, our mission is to inspire informed action across every stage of life. ALA brings people together to share knowledge, build community, and navigate what’s next, together.
