Summary
A representative from Ability Inclusion Services described day, residential and fitness programs for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities in Salt Lake County and invited the council to a March 31 groundbreaking for a new 12‑unit ADA residential building and an April 24 fundraising gala.
During the public comment portion of the March 18 Salt Lake County Council meeting, Corina McClellan of Ability Inclusion Services described the nonprofit’s community day and residential programs for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities and invited council members to upcoming events.
McClellan said Ability Inclusion Services operates a community day program in West Valley City with arts programming, an adaptive indoor/outdoor fitness center staffed by an exercise specialist, a sensory room, a library and program rooms for fine motor and textile work. "We have a large focus on community inclusion, ensuring that our clients are engaging with the community, socializing and participating in various activities," McClellan said.
She also described residential services at three properties countywide and announced construction of a new 12‑unit, fully ADA‑compliant residential building. McClellan invited council members to the nonprofit’s groundbreaking on March 31 and to a fundraising gala April 24; she said she had two complimentary tickets available for council or city officials.
Council members responded with appreciation for the services and thanks for the invitation. The council did not take formal action on the presentation; staff and council members acknowledged the nonprofit’s work in the community.
