Ability Specialists strives to create a balanced and productive life for adults with developmental disabilities. We accomplish this by offering a wide variety of services within our organization, implemented primarily in the context of the local community. Through teamwork development we encourage and support individuals to actualize their individual potential, thus gaining a sense of pride and belonging that allows the human spirit to flourish.
Ability Specialists has designed a method of facilitation that has proven successful for countless participants. We use recreational activities and community contact as platforms to facilitate our Training Principles. Our success is predicated on the premise that mentorship is the most effective means of enhancing a person’s life—therefore our highly trained staff implements key principles of mentoring in every applicable context. Staff members are trained to partner with participants in the growth experience and to help develop healthy boundaries to promote long-term, holistic growth.
Over time, participants develop a natural support system, long-lasting friendships and relationships within the community. These support long-term success and independence achieved through our training and mentoring programs. Our six main programs include:

• Volunteer Day Program
• Men's Volunteer Day Program
• Evening Social Development Program
• Small Specialized Groups Program
• Mentored Skill Development Program
• Supported Employment Program
