Additional
Information
The ABLE program is a
nationally recognized
program that teaches
students with
neurological
disabilities how to
become independent
learners. Students take
courses with
supplemental workshops
as well as attend weekly
support group meetings
to build skills and
confidence for college
and vocational programs.
An educational
specialist works with
each student to design
an individualized course
plan. There is a process
of application for
acceptance into this
for-cost program. Apply
the semester before you
plan to enroll.
The current fee is an
additional $35 per
credit hour for ABLE
supported classes.
