Centre-based Programs

Able provides daily programs throughout the week that are focused around centre-based, group activities that encourage individual participation and choice and have a key focus on person-centred support.

Our flexible, highly skilled staff ensure your needs of social interaction, safety, personal care and overall enjoyment are fully met. We promote independence and seek to support you in developing a variety of social and life skills.

We will support you to improve skills such as road safety, using public transport, positive communication, money and food handling and using technology.

Therapy Programs

Creative Arts Therapy is based on the belief that creative expression within a therapeutic context supports change in a person’s inner world and helps them develop a more integrated sense of self.

Art Therapy

Art is a non-verbal method of communication and can support people with alternative communication styles to access mental health support. The program offers individuals and groups the opportunity to be creative in a safe and welcoming environment.

Both therapy programs can be run either in a group or one-on-one setting and include consultancy, assessment and evaluation of your individual needs.

Young Adult Program

The Young Adult Program (YAP) is a Day Program  in Launceston for clients aged between 18-30. The program is designed to provide young adults with disability with an opportunity to learn life skills, build and develop positive relationships and friendships whilst becoming more independent.
