I would go with something like this:
Helping people with disabilities rediscover their lives.
or
helping people who are new to disability get back into living.
Like others, I don't like "the disabled," and I'm a little hinky about
the idea of making life normal again, but I also know that people who
aren't used to living with a disability do think in terms of normal and
not-normal, so it's useful to acknowledge their thinking in ways that
are more palatable to those of us who are used to living with a disability.
