Our February 2026 General Meeting speaker is Angela Lucero Perry, South Bay Employment Services Manager at AbilityPath, a nonprofit that provides employment programs for people with disabilities. AbilityPath serves anyone who qualifies for funding through the Department of Rehabilitation (DOR) or San Andreas Regional Center. This means the individual has to have a “diagnosed disability” and the desire to work. Once DOR finds them eligible, they can be sent to AbilityPath for services.
AbilityPath offers these services:
-
- Immersion services (4-month 80-day small classroom setting that focuses on barriers to employment)
- Employment services encompassing job development; job placement; and supported employment, including job coaching onsite at the employer.
Ms. Lucero Perry conducts ongoing outreach to businesses to continuously build the network of potential employers while maintaining relationships with the California Department of Rehabilitation and the San Andreas Regional Center. She is also a Crisis Intervention Team Trainer for the San Jose Police Department.
Angela Lucero Perry has 25 years of experience working with people with disabilities. She oversees all South Bay programming that assists people with preparing for and returning to work. Prior to joining AbilityPath in 2020, Ms. Lucero Perry worked with Services for Brain Injury as the director of programs for 18 years. She also served in a variety of HR and recruitment roles before beginning her career in the nonprofit sector.
