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.

Serious injury cases demand more than basic legal handling. They require detailed investigation, strategic planning, and a willingness to take a case to trial when necessary. Clients benefit from working with a firm that prepares every case with that level of commitment: https://www.bartlettgrippe.com/

🕶️✨ Creativity was shining bright at Abilities Without Boundaries!

We recently enjoyed a fun and engaging sunglasses mosaic art project as part of our Art of Engagement initiative. Using sunglasses template cutouts, popsicle sticks, colorful tissue paper and construction paper pieces, glue, and plenty of imagination, everyone created unique works of art that reflected their creativity and personal style.

This meaningful activity encouraged self-expression, fine motor skill development, and social engagement while providing an enjoyable artistic experience for all involved.

A special thank you to the Neag Foundation for sponsoring this grant-funded program and helping us bring enriching, hands-on creative opportunities to the individuals we serve. Your support helps make art, connection, and engagement possible every day.

This week in the Art of Engagement, we explored sustainable art by creating fire-breathing dragons! Using recycled toilet paper rolls and colorful tissue paper, our participants designed their own dragons and glued tissue paper inside the rolls. When they blew through the tube, the tissue paper moved like real dragon fire, bringing their creations to life!

A special thank you to The Neag Foundation for making this experience possible through their generous grant. We are grateful for the opportunity to provide creative, hands-on activities that inspire imagination, learning, and fun! 🔥🐉🎨♻️

This week in the Art of Engagement, we had so much fun creating blow paint monsters! 🎨👾

We mixed watered-down paint, dropped it onto paper, and used straws to blow the paint around to create silly, colorful monster shapes. Once they dried, we added fun eyes and details to bring our monsters to life!

Such an easy and creative art project that we absolutely loved creating 💚💙💜

A special thank you to the Neag Foundation for making this possible!
