Abilis has been serving people with disabilities since 1951. From birth, throughout life, Abilis tailors its services to individual needs. Through Therapeutic Services and Life Services, Abilis has created a network of programs and services to meet the multiple demands that a person with disabilities faces. Below is a list of those services.
THERAPEUTIC SERVICES
Abilis is home to experts who work together to create a cohesive approach to personalized therapeutic care. Our therapies, housed in our Therapy Center, are administered using best practices and are available at Abilis or in the environments you choose, including your home and places in the community where the therapy will be the most effective.
EARLY INTERVENTION
For children with a developmental disability or delay, early intervention makes all the difference. Both our Abilis Birth to Three and Abilis Little Learners services help families meet the developmental and health-related needs of their infants and toddlers. Little Learners is an intensive program designed to meet the needs of children with an autism diagnosis. Both programs provide teachers and therapists who coach and provide support to families in natural learning environments.
CUSTOMIZED THERAPIES
Abilis therapists tailor plans to the specific needs of the individuals we serve across their lifespan. Our range of experts, including therapists and behaviorists, allow us to offer a holistic approach to individual care. Together they facilitate comprehensive evaluations, dynamic diagnostic services, and treatments for people of all ages.
FAMILY SUPPORTS
Abilis provides families with information on a broad range of topics including: community resources, educational options, financial planning, medical professionals, and legal advisors. We also offer a mentoring system that links families, so they can share experiences and advice.
LIFE SERVICES
Abilis provides needed supports to people throughout their lives. Our goal is to enhance each person’s quality of life through social activities, meaningful employment and high quality residential services. Our Life Services programs include health and wellness care delivered by certified professionals.
ACTIVITIES
Abilis offers a range of community-based activities that provide social and recreational opportunities for people of all ages with disabilities. These programs allow people to feel a sense of belonging and to make new friends through shared interests and experiences.
TRANSITIONS
Change is challenging for all of us. Abilis has programs specifically designed to help people with disabilities transition from high school into adulthood, and as they age, into their senior years.
