WINGS is a non-profit founded in 2006 to support adults with special needs. We raise the bar through meaningful, educational and enriching activities for our participants’ Day Program, such as art, woodworking, dance, swimming, social skills class, bowling, martial arts and volunteering opportunities.

Some of our families are challenged with the “never-empty-nest-syndrome.” Folks worry about how their adult children will have a good quality of life. WINGS is there for participants and families. We give participants' lives meaning and purpose and we provide day respite to families. We assist people with basic human needs and their more soulful needs for friendship, challenge and rich experiences. A safety net of stimulation, socialization, and rewarding sense of accomplishment is found at WINGS. We make a positive difference in lives.

Research shows that ongoing stimulation enhances adult lives and helps prevent regression of skills, depression, cognitive decline and isolation. WINGS' day program encourages members to have input and responsibility for programming. It is a comfortable, flexible environment that allows "Adults to Soar."

Why are people choosing WINGS? After completion of post-High School Transition Program, people with developmental disabilities need day support. Those with part-time jobs can also benefit by supplementing their jobs with Day Program.

There is a 5-year waiting list for services at the state level, due to budget cuts, but WINGS offers the option of private pay so people can have supports while they wait on the list. Rates start at $8.88/hour. To apply as a private-pay participant, go here.

WINGS meets the need for a Loveland-based day-program alternative. For more information, visit here.

WINGS emphasizes enrichment in all its programming. Our purpose is to enrich participants intellectually, socially and physically. We maintain a sense of their innate value, which leads to feelings of emotional well-being for a lifetime. Essential adult services preserve safety, health, hygiene and literacy skills. We also introduce pre-vocational skills.

WINGS is the first Loveland-based agency for adults with developmental disabilities. We are fortunate to be able to access the many wonderful Loveland community amenities and services. We participate in creative community activities and are building many community partnerships.

WINGS is open Monday-Thursday from 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. WINGS provides transportation for those who need it. Check out our monthly Calendar for more details.

Until now, the concept of lifelong learning had been unheard of for our friends, but we know that ongoing learning experiences are essential to experience life fully.

WINGS promotes independence, interdependence, self-advocacy, personal growth, a health life style, safety and inclusion. We treat all people with the utmost dignity, respect and appreciation. We pursue continuous innovations in our methods. We remain committed to increasing levels of satisfaction of our participants by being fully accountable and consistently exceeding participants' expectations.

Wings Day Program: Members are supported to meet their SP goals by designing a calendar which includes activities such as; continuing education based on personal interests, computer work, exercise, friendship-building projects, community volunteer work, local cultural events, reading practice, socialization, and creative expression.
