TEAM Abilities knows a lot about the special needs community in Montgomery County. The agency just celebrated its 14-year anniversary of serving adults with special needs through day habilitation and community living homes.

“We know back-to-school preparations for families of children with special needs offers its own set of challenges,” Rachel Jelks said, CEO and Founder of TEAM Abilities. “The one thing we can do to assist families is to offer free haircuts. We understand the IDD community and have staff prepared to host this event at our location.”

Though TEAM Abilities’ ISS and residential programs are geared to adults with special needs, there are times the agency enrolls younger applicants.

“TEAM Abilities accepts all levels of need and all levels of care which distinguishes us from most agencies,” Jelks said. “From total care to members who might have behavior issues, we do our best to provide expert care for all.”

There is little to no waitlist for those families who wish to take advantage of TEAM Abilities’ services. According to Jelks, if families have been waiting more than 17 years to get the approved waivers allowing them to finally get care for their loved one, she doesn’t want them to wait much longer to actually get those services.

“We currently have 19 community living homes and have an ISS program so we feel well-equipped in serving the needs of parents. Of course, we are always looking for great staff,” Jelks said. “For this event, we are asking for volunteers and eager school-goers to get their haircut.”

The FREE HAIRCUT event happens Monday, August 12, 10am to 2pm at TEAM Abilities’ day habilitation program located at 611 Westridge Drive in Spring, 77380. To book an appointment text or call Donna at 832-790-2879.

T.E.A.M. is an acronym for Together Everyone Achieves More. The agency just celebrated its 14-year anniversary serving adults with special needs through day habilitation and community living homes in the Harris and Montgomery county area.
