ABLE is a service designed to meet the needs of students facing challenges in communication, social interaction, work behavior, and abstract thinking. The primary aim of ABLE services is to narrow the social gaps, enabling students to succeed in general education settings at or near grade level, with minimal to no Special Education assistance over time. Service options include positive behavioral interventions, reinforcement strategies, teaching alternative behaviors, and fostering empathy and perspective-taking skills.
All students with disabilities are first considered as general education students. ABLE aims to integrate students into the general education environment to the fullest extent possible, based on their Individualized Education Program (IEP) needs.
