Founded in September of 2021, Elevated Abilities addresses the unique needs of children with disabilities and their families. Recognizing a significant gap in comprehensive services, we envisioned a sanctuary where families could access a myriad of services under one roof, simplifying their journey toward empowerment and support.Operating within the FSCD Calgary and Central regions, our reach extends to both urban and rural communities, including Cochrane, Airdrie, Okotoks, High River, Chestermere, Strathmore, Carstairs, and Olds. Our commitment to accessibility ensures that no child or family feels left behind, regardless of their geographical location.Our service model is both versatile and flexible, designed to cater to a range of needs. We provide a variety of service options including in-home, community, virtual, and in-office sessions to effectively meet the unique requirements of each client. Our offerings encompass a wide spectrum, spanning from services aligned with Specialized Services and Behavioural Development contracts, to counselling, respite groups, social skills groups, parent support groups, assessments, and complimentary parenting workshops.
