What Is Habilitation?
Habilitation refers to teaching and reinforcing life skills, communication abilities, social interaction, and adaptive behaviors. It’s different from rehabilitation, which focuses on restoring lost abilities—habilitation is about developing new ones.

This service is ideal for individuals who have never had certain functional abilities due to developmental or intellectual challenges. Through consistent practice and support, our clients learn how to navigate their environments, participate in their communities, and live more independently.
