How are the services offered

Ability Explorers understands that therapy works best in an environment where you feel most comfortable. We offer a mobile service where we can visit the individual in their home environment, at school or in another community setting. Ability Explorers also offers teletherapy sessions. Please see the teletherapy tab for more information.
