In 1953, Noble’s founders gathered together, united behind a common goal. They chose to ignore the advice of doctors and societal pressures to blaze an innovative path that we’re still pursuing today.
Their children had been born with disabilities like Down syndrome and autism. At that time, parents of children with disabilities were expected to institutionalize their sons and daughters or keep them hidden at home. Going to school was not even an option.

However, our founding parents knew that their children could learn and were eager to do so. They could achieve their goals, realize their dreams and contribute significantly to the world around them. Over the years, Noble, Inc. has evolved to meet the changing needs of the people we serve. Now, Noble empowers 3,700+ children & adults with disabilities and their loved ones in Central and Eastern Indiana through a variety of supports each year.
