Madonna School

Madonna Ability Alliance is a special education and habilitation organization that enables people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and autism to maximize their potential and thrive as fully included members of their communities. Founded in 1960 by Sr. Mary Evangeline Randolph, the organization operates the only Midwest program offering a seamless continuum of services across the entire lifespan for individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD), Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and Other Health Impairments (OHI).

The organization serves hundreds of children, young adults, and adults each year through individualized education plans, functional academics, career and life skills development, and vocational training. Madonna Ability Alliance operates from its headquarters in Omaha, Nebraska, with a state-of-the-art facility that opened in 2025 at Aksarben Village. The organization partners with the Archdiocese of Omaha and works closely with clinical support from the Munroe-Meyer Institute.

Madonna Ability Alliance is known for strong employment outcomes, with 85% of Project SEARCH participants achieving competitive employment upon program completion. The organization's inclusive education program for elementary students has experienced significant growth, expanding 400% since 2019. The 2025 rebranding from Madonna School to Madonna Ability Alliance reflects the organization's expanded scope in serving individuals through education, employment, and community inclusion across all life stages.
