Our Story
Every year thousands of students with disabilities are aging out of high school with few options for employment or contribution. The general consensus is that individuals with disabilities are unable to contribute. At Healing Farms we don’t believe that.
Healing Farms is a Charleston based non-profit that exists to provide hope and opportunity to the special needs community. Our vision is to see a community inspired and empowered to see ABILITY first, not disability. To put it simply, we have a heart for helping our participants and a passion for teaching the community ways that they can include, support, and love the special needs community also. Through our adult day program we offer opportunities for our participants to work on life skills, social skills, and job training not in isolation but while participating with their peers in community.
Healing Farms is proving that empowerment and development in the special needs community yields high benefits for everyone. Families get the support they need. Talents and strengths emerge among participants and hopelessness vanishes. Community perceptions change and opportunity emerges. At Healing Farms We See Ability!
