Developmental Disability Services
Abilene
Through partnerships with families, schools, and the community, services began in 1983 in Dickinson County. When you come to the Abilene Regional Office for services, we build a plan around you. Your plan is designed with as little or as much support as you need. Not only can you receive intensive services, but we can bring in an assortment of other services such as assistive technology, transition support, case management, information and referral, independent living, and more.
You will have an array of opportunities for employment training through the many relationships we have developed throughout Dickinson County. An example of this is providing labor for the Recycling Center in Abilene. This relationship with the City of Abilene benefits both the city and the people who are working there. People working at the recycling center have chosen to be involved in the local labels for education project by saving various labels brought to the center, and presenting them to schools.
As a result of our community collaboration, the City of Abilene and OCCK are leading a campaign focused on Good Environmental Stewardship with an emphasis on recycling. The strong partnerships within Dickinson County provide the foundation for continual growth and enhancement of our services.
Many people enjoy Abilene's rich history, beginning as a cattle town as the state was settled, and including today, the Eisenhower Presidential Library, Greyhound Hall of Fame, restored historical mansions, museums, art, and much more. There is plenty of shopping in Abilene, there are Antique Shops as well as other small stores that offer unique items. There are many places to eat, including the legendary Brookville Hotel.
