Diverse Abilities is a Poole-based nonprofit serving Dorset since 1955, focused on people with profound physical and learning disabilities and their families. The organization runs services for both children and adults, including a specialist school for ages two to 19 with short breaks, overnight respite, in-home support, and seasonal activities; and an adult program offering supported living and day activities. An Advice Team offers guidance and representation on medical and legal matters to help secure appropriate support. The charity's mission is to enable disabled children and adults to reach their full potential through sustainable, lifelong support and education. As a local disability charity, it positions its services as a broad range tailored to individual needs in Dorset. Recent activity includes the 2025 launch of a Baby Buddies program, signaling ongoing program development and community engagement.
