Abilities Enrichment Center opens up the Blossom Hill mission of love, care, and acceptance to a wider population needing day program services.
We designed Abilities to offer nurturing opportunities to individuals across all levels of care, from those with the least to the greatest level of independence. Our facility has an on-site nurse to care for individuals with medical needs. We believe every individual can benefit from a variety of activities, and should be able to take part in them. Opportunities for experiences, peer and community interaction, enrichment … and fun.
We offer opportunities for experiences to enhance overall quality of life, with individuals choosing their level of participation.
Individuals can choose from various experiences such as:
Voice = Choice
at Abilities Enrichment Center
Your day. Your goals. Your way.
At Abilities Enrichment Center (AEC), we don’t ask, “What can you fit into our program?” We ask, “What would make today meaningful for you?” That’s the heart of our Voice = Choice approach. Every individual who comes to AEC has a say in how they spend their day — whether they communicate with words, gestures, behavior, devices, or through the people who know them best.
This isn’t a one-schedule-for-everyone day program. It’s a participant-led, choice-based, joy-forward place built for people with all levels of ability, including those with higher medical needs.
Why Voice = Choice matters
People engage more — and thrive more — when they help decide what happens in their day. Choice reduces anxiety, increases comfort, and opens the door to real enrichment. It’s true for all of us, and it’s especially true for individuals with developmental and intellectual disabilities.
