At Limestone Coast Ability, we understand the therapeutic benefits of pets. Our pet therapy program allows participants to interact with animals, including birds, chickens, ducks, sheep, Guinea pigs, and bunnies. Spending time with these animals helps reduce stress, increase social interactions, and promote a sense of companionship.
Woodworking is a hands-on activity that allows individuals to develop practical skills and create beautiful items. Our large work shed provides a safe and supportive space for participants to learn woodworking techniques and complete projects that they can be proud of.
We believe in the importance of community engagement, which is why we organise regular community activities. Participants have the opportunity to socialise, participate in local events, and give back to their community. These activities help build social connections and enhance their sense of belonging.

Our gardening program allows individuals to connect with nature and experience the therapeutic benefits of spending time outdoors. Participants have the opportunity to learn how to cultivate plants, maintain the gardens, and enjoy the beauty of nature. Gardening is known to reduce stress, promote relaxation, and improve physical fitness.
Day Options also places importance on sports and health. We offer sports programs tailored to the abilities and interests of our participants. These activities not only promote physical fitness but also boost self-confidence, improve coordination, and encourage team spirit.
