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 innovative 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 care for nearly 100 adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, ages 21 to 80. Two things they all have in common. 1) They deal with challenges they did nothing to cause. 2) They have a broad range of abilities, but none can drive a car. Transportation is one of our biggest expenses. Our vans and cars get these folks to our day programs and work opportunities. We get them out of their group and family homes. We need your help. State funding reaches only so far. Your donation in any amount makes a real difference. We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. You can donate on our website or call us, 203-272-5607, or send a check to: Abilities Without Boundaries, 615 West Johnson Ave., Cheshire, CT 06410. Thank you! https://abilitieswithoutboundaries.org/donate/
