Abilities Without Boundaries

Abilities Without Boundaries Nonprofit Organization. Abilities Without Boundaries helps people achieve independence, self-sufficiency, community participation and personal satisfaction

AWB offers diverse and highly enriched programming for individuals with developmental disabilities throughout Connecticut. AWB currently provides services to 68 clients focusing on integrated employment and day services with a strict focus on the individual needs of each client. Our clients are employed in a wide scope of jobs in the communities we serve. And we continue to look for new and innova

tive ideas that will allow our clients to share their talents with the greater community. In collaboration with employment services, AWB offers day programs focusing on enhancing daily living activities, gross and fine motor skills, and social and emotional interactions. Our committed staff work to arrange a variety of activities to address each of these areas. In addition to our programming, AWB is a strong advocate for the rights of people with developmental disabilities and continues to spread awareness about the abilities of people with developmental disabilities throughout Connecticut's communities. Since 1978, AWB has helped countless individuals with developmental disabilities lead a more productive and fulfilling life. In 2011, AWB changed our name from Cheshire Occupational & Career Opportunities (COCO) to Abilities Without Boundaries and continued expanding our impact throughout the state. In addition to this change, Abilities Without Boundaries successfully launched a rebranding effort placing advocacy, inclusion and respect at the forefront of all initiatives. What began with a few concerned parents has blossomed into an organization with almost 50 employees who all share a deep and profound respect for the individuals we serve. For more than 30 years, we have been helping to make a difference throughout Connecticut.

We are so grateful to the United Way of Greater Waterbury for their generous grant supporting our SHRED Program! πŸ’œπŸ§‘

Their support helps us continue providing meaningful opportunities and making a positive impact in our community. We truly appreciate their partnership and commitment to Abilities Without Boundaries!

Thank you, United Way of Greater Waterbury, for helping us make a difference! πŸ™πŸ’œπŸ§‘

United Way is proud to invest in the work of Abilities Without Boundaries - our funding has purchased two shredders to support 35 individuals with disabilities to earn a minimum wage, by allowing them to have a shredding job on site at their Cheshire facility. This additional investment expands the successful program to 3 shredders as well as the required ongoing maintenance to provide uninterrupted productivity, allowing increased participation and hours participants can work earning at the state minimum wage. The agency has partnered with area businesses to bring this work to their clients. Having the shredder has also helped participants have calmer and more regulated moments throughout the day.

Our participants had a fantastic time creating colorful caterpillars out of recycled egg cartons! πŸ›πŸŒˆ This hands-on activity was part of our Art of Engagement: Sustainable Art Program, where we turn everyday recycled materials into creative works of art.

It was a wonderful opportunity to use our imaginations, get creative, and learn that art can be both fun and environmentally friendly! πŸ’šπŸŒŽ

We love seeing creativity come to life in so many different ways! 🎨✨
