Our mission is to effect social change for people that are treated differently by society at large.
We do this through connection, love, and belonging.
We walk alongside individuals on their journey to develop themselves personally and professionally.
About Us
Since 1999, hundreds of adults have come to Ability Specialists with the goal of building their self-confidence and independence.
Here at Ability Specialists, we are committed to helping every individual we work with reach his or her potential. Due to our unique programs, our clients have built deeper connections with their community, peers, families, and most importantly themselves.
We do this by mentoring life, vocational, social, and emotional skills. Our proven mentor-based and experiential approach is designed to individualize programs for each person we serve in a supporting environment.
This has helped us to stand apart from other programs by producing kind, empathetic, confident, well-adjusted, and independent adults with the freedom to pursue more rewarding and self-sufficient lives.
Why Us
Our Ability Specialists’ team understands that no two people are alike, therefore it is our goal to ensure that we help every individual create their own specific success story.
We encourage our clients to take prudent risks that will teach new skills and build confidence. We do not provide a “caretaker program” where participants are simply supervised while doing standard activities. Our proven mentor-based approach is designed to individualize programs for every person and has helped us clearly stand apart from other programs.
True to our name, we specialize in helping every individual achieve his or her full set of unique abilities. Our dedicated and highly trained mentors deliver experiential learning programs that build better support networks, deeper friendships and stronger ties with communities.
By creating these kinds of constructive learning frameworks, we support and teach useful and practical skills that lead toward greater confidence and independence.
At Ability Specialists, expectations are always high. We motivate people daily, never supporting the use of their disabilities as excuses for overdependence on others. We have found, time and again, that our mentor-based supportive learning environment results in participants becoming well-adjusted adults with the freedom to pursue more self-sufficient lives.
