Additional
Information
The ABLE program,
which stands for
Academic Bridges to
Learning Effectiveness,
is an intensive support
services program
designed to empower
individuals with
learning disabilities,
brain injuries, and
other neurological
impairments to become
independent learners.
The ABLE program helps
facilitate the
transition of students
into the regular college
curriculum or the
workplace. In addition
to small class sizes and
individualized academic
advising from a learning
disabilities specialist,
the ABLE program offers
a structured curriculum
of guidance courses,
academic support and
counseling support.
There is an
additional cost of $35
per credit hour for this
