Founded by a special education teacher who saw a need to reach children beyond the classroom, Celebrate Ability is a company small enough to provide personalized attention, yet large enough to meet all of your waiver needs. We are known for our fun and engaging Therapeutic Integration Program (TI). Celebrate Ability offers a full range of wrap-around in-home services including Family Consultation, Respite, and Intensive Individual Support Services. We do not believe that there is only one therapeutic approach for all children with autism. For this reason, our team of Family Consultants is made up of members with a wide variety of relevant backgrounds, including Behavioral Analysts, Speech Pathologists, Transition Specialists, and those with Special Education experience. By pairing families with a Family Consultant who is the best match for their child, we are able to create truly individualized treatment plans that is effectively implemented by our experienced team of IISS and Respite Technicians.
