The WOW Center is committed to empowering individuals with disabilities.

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 (autism, cerebral palsy, intellectual disabilities, Down syndrome, Prader-Willi syndrome, spina bifida). 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 is an Adult Day Training (ADT) center that currently supports and serves over 170 adults with developmental disabilities from Miami-Dade County who range in ages from 21 to 76. 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.

For Alejandro, WOW is personal. As Chair of WOW’s Board of Directors and the younger brother of Jose “Coti”, a proud WOW Individual, he has witnessed firsthand the joy, growth, and belonging WOW brings to the lives of the individuals we serve.

For the past 10 years, Alejandro and the Jerez Family have championed WOW’s Annual Casino Night, helping grow it from a small family and friends fundraiser into a vibrant community-wide event.

His commitment continues through WOW Experience, where MDM Group proudly serves as a Presenting Sponsor.

We are incredibly grateful for Alejandro’s leadership, generosity, and dedication to building a brighter future for Coti and so many individuals like him. Thank you for helping us create more opportunities to experience the Joy of WOW! 💚

A heartfelt thank you to our Board Member, Monica Quirch, for opening her home and her heart to host a beautiful Mahjong Luncheon benefiting The WOW Center. 💚

Guests gathered for an afternoon of Mahjong, a delicious lunch, and an opportunity to learn more about WOW and the Individuals we serve. Our Individuals also joined in the fun by showcasing and selling their handmade jewelry and keychains, along with WOW merchandise. It was a day filled with friendly competition, creativity, and connection!

Monica, thank you for creating such a meaningful experience and bringing your community together in support of WOW. We are so grateful for your generosity, leadership, and continued commitment to our mission. 💚

Thank you to everyone who played, supported, and helped make a difference for our Individuals!
