(July 2024/Spring, TX) TEAM Abilities, an agency that serves adults with special needs through ISS
services and Community Living, has relocated to a new facility after being at their previous location for nearly a decade.
“Services for the special needs community have grown and unfortunately, will continue to grow,” said
Rachel Jelks, Founder and CEO of TEAM Abilities. “Because we take all levels of need and all levels
of care, our agency is growing leaps and bounds due to our all-encompassing range of services for
the IDD community. We don’t turn anyone away. There aren't too many agencies like ours so the demand is high."
TEAM, an acronym for Together Everyone Achieves More, Abilities has one of the most robust ISS
and Community Living programs in Montgomery and Harris counties.
“Our ISS program, formerly referred to as Day Habilitation or Day Hab, offers in-room crafting, life-
skills training, and off-site field trips even as far as Waco to visit the Dr. Pepper museum! It’s our
philosophy to expose our Team Members to life and all the wonder and adventure we can involve
them in,” said Jelks. “For those in one of our 19 Community Living homes, we offer weekend outings
and game nights. We provide countless opportunities for our Team Members to thrive in life. We also
provide Supported Employment for those seeking jobs.”
Their new location at 611 Westridge Drive in Spring is very close to their previous location making it
easy for parents and guardians to continue to drop off their loved ones. Their hours are still the same,
8am to 4pm, Monday thru Friday.
“We are so happy to be in our new location, a space we have had our sights set on for more than a
year,” said Jelks. “As a faith-based agency we are grateful to our landlord and neighbor Church
Project who blessed the building for us before moving in. This is our divine space and we are so
grateful.”
The agency will be celebrating their 14-year Anniversary and Open House on Thursday, July 11, from 5pm-7pm
and the public is invited to join us and tour the Team Abilities’ new location.
