Disabilities Services Office - Project ABLE Program.

ABLE stands for Academic Bridges to Learning Effectiveness.

Project ABLE is an educationally based, comprehensive learning support program designed specifically for students with mild emotional and learning disabilities. 

The purpose of the program is to provide a “bridge” between the structured and sometimes modified secondary-school setting to the predominantly self-directed college environment.  This is accomplished through the creation and implementation of a student-centered success plan developed collaboratively with a Learning Support Specialist that includes the use of accommodations and services.

Although Centenary College does not modify its curriculum for students with disabilities, Project ABLE compliments a tradition of personalized, quality education which creates a high potential for a successful transition. 

The fee for this program for the 2006-2007 academic year is $1000.00 per semester.

Project ABLE emphasizes:

  • Personal responsibility
  • Self-advocacy
  • Independence
  • Remediation of Study Skills & Techniques
  • Development of Self-help skills
  • Personal Reflection

Project ABLE services include:

  • Individual weekly meetings with a Learning Support Specialist
  • Academic Skill Remediation
  • Specific Seminars & Activities
  • Access to Professional Tutors trained in disability issues
  • Group Counseling (Bridges Group)
  • Access to up-to-date Adaptive Technology
  • Close academic monitoring
  • Disability Issues Counseling
  • Peer mentoring
