HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
Council for Developmental Disabilities or ABLE Community-Based Services is a community-based nonprofit that has been serving adults with special needs since 1982. It started when a small group of teachers, parents, and professionals worked together to provide their adult child, with an intellectual disability, a more meaningful and fulfilling life. Today, ABLE operates four group homes and two Direct Living-Assistance Services homes. There is trained, around the clock staff both at both the houses and workshop to support residents to live as independently as possible.
Our residential services give a home-like environment and teach daily living skills to our residents. The residential program gives residents even greater autonomy, giving ready access to support for tasks like banking, shopping, and transportation. Vocational programs serve clients through two different services. Our two vocational services are the Sheltered Workshop, and Community Integrated Employment. ABLE solicits contracts from Norman businesses to be completed by program participants at our community integrated employment office or job sites. This provides skills development and earned income for ABLE clients. ABLE accepts clients from all over Oklahoma, and provides vocational assistance across Cleveland County, including Norman, Noble, the University of Oklahoma and private employers.
