ANNOUCEMENT!

Introducing the ABLE Hands Initiative 501c(3): Crafting Independence, Building Futures.

We’re proud to present this video from Life on the Spectrum podcast that shines a spotlight on the ABLE Hands Initiative, the nonprofit arm of Sawdust OT, where our mission extends beyond therapy and into real-world vocational empowerment!

At ABLE Hands, we believe in putting the future back in our participants’ hands: teens and adults with special needs are given the opportunity to learn trade and craft skills, explore job pathways, and build community beyond the constraints of insurance!

Because of this program, Sawdust OT isn’t just about occupational therapy anymore. It’s about creating lasting impact:

Participants working side-by-side with subject matter experts and mentors, using tools and materials related to that field and trade.
Life skills, job readiness, and confidence growing through meaningful projects.
A community built around possibility, where independence isn’t a dream, it’s a path.
Families strengthened and supported through inclusive programs and social connections.
👉 Watch the video, share it with someone who needs to see this work in action, and tag a friend who believes in purpose-driven opportunities.

If you’ve ever wondered how craft + trade + community can change trajectories, this is it.

In this episode, discover how Able Hands can empower your teen and adult with vocational skills and trade training. Building confidence, capability, and con...

Blast from the past! 

What began as a small dream in a basement has grown into two thriving Sawdust OT locations, and it’s all because of the incredible families who believed in us.

To every parent and caregiver who trusted us with your son or daughter’s wellbeing, growth, and therapy, thank you. Your support built this community and made this journey possible.

From sawdust covered floors to fully equipped workshops, from our first apprentice to over 250, look how far we’ve come together.

Here’s to the progress, the partnerships, and the future we’re still building side by side.

Thank you for being part of the Sawdust OT family.

🚚💪 Ben and James just picked up 8 pallets of Poplar wood for the shops!

For those who may not know, Poplar is one of the most versatile hardwoods out there. It’s lightweight yet strong, easy to work with, and takes paint and stain beautifully. That makes it a favorite for:

-Cabinetry and furniture
-Interior trim and molding
-Crafts and small woodworking projects
-Painted finishes where a smooth, consistent grain is needed

We can’t wait to see the amazing projects our apprentices create with this fresh haul of material! 🌳🔨
