Abilis offers a wide range of therapeutic services for individuals of all ages to address communication, social, sensory, physical and cognitive challenges, as well as behavioral issues that negatively impact family dynamics and community inclusion. Our therapists assess the needs of each individual and work collaboratively with families, caregivers, educators, and allied professionals to create personalized plans with specific goals and objectives.

In addition to our dedicated Therapy Center, Abilis professionals provide services in the environments in which they are needed most – homes, schools, and public spaces, such as playgrounds and community centers. This is a unique aspect of our therapy program - we deliver services not where it’s most convenient for us, but where it’s most beneficial for our individuals and their families. While not an exhaustive list, our therapeutic services include: 

  • Academic Supports
