关于我们
Formerly known as Community Habilitation Center, the WOW Center was organized in the early 1970s thanks to the efforts of a small group of parents of children with developmental disabilities.This group of parents were facing the reality that after their sons and daughters graduated high school, their options were limited. There were not many programs or services available for their family member in others for them to keep learning, developing and ultimately achieving their goals, the WOW Center was created to meet this need in our community.
The WOW Center currently supports and serves over 150 adults with developmental disabilities from Miami-Dade County who range in ages from 21 to 71. Since its founding, The WOW Center has broadened its programs and activities and amassed an enviable reputation throughout South Florida.
The purpose of all The WOW Center services is to offer support, guidance and encouragement to adults with developmental disabilities regarding their personal choices, abilities, growth and ultimately, independence. We provide individuals with programs designed to help them learn skills in order for them to lead meaningful and productive lives, explore their potential, and develop a sense of community. To attain these goals, the agency offers the following work and education programs: Life and Work Skills, Technology Lab, Art, Sports and Fitness, Music Therapy, Community Based Education, Supported Employment, Speech Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Social Services, Special Olympics, and a Kiwanis Aktion Club.

What do we think? Here are the top 5 ways grocery stores can be more inclusive: 1?? Train staff on disability awareness ??? – Teach employees to be patient, accommodating, and respectful when assisting individuals with disabilities. 2?? Offer sensory-friendly shopping hours ?? – Reduce noise, dim harsh lighting, and create a calmer environment for shoppers with sensory sensitivities. 3?? Ensure wide, accessible aisles ??♂? – Keep pathways clear and checkout counters accessible for wheelchair users and individuals with mobility aids. 4?? Provide adaptive shopping options ?? – Offer online ordering, personal shopping assistance, and easy-to-read signage for all customers. 5?? Hire and support employees with disabilities ?? – Foster an inclusive workplace by hiring individuals with disabilities and providing the necessary accommodations. Small changes can make a big impact! ??? #InclusiveShopping #AbleTogether #AccessibilityMatters

WOW Takes Tally! This week, we traveled to Tallahassee to advocate for WOW and people with disabilities across Florida. From meeting with state legislators to sharing personal stories, we made sure our voices were heard loud and clear. Every conversation, every handshake?? , and every moment spent at the Capitol brings us closer to a more inclusive future. ?? Let’s keep pushing for change—because advocacy matters.
