ABLE Residential & Community Options, LLC Manitowoc, WI 54220
Company Description
Established in 2009, ABLE Residential & Community Options, LLC has proudly been servicing individuals with special needs and mental health diagnoses in Manitowoc County for nearly 10 years with additional services extending into Sheboygan and Winnebago Counties. Our service array features individualized, group, and community orientated programming; focusing on skill development and community integration.
Our Mission
ABLE believes that every individual possesses the ability to achieve their highest potential. Through the collaborative supports of family, social workers, teachers, licensed professionals, community organizations, and our own trained support mentors we strive to provide a safe educational and recreational atmosphere. While encouraging healthy lifestyles and educated choices, we support social, emotional, and life skill development through coordinated services and individualized programming.
Our Values
Achieve – Creating a successful outcome isn’t about crossing the finish line, rather it’s mapping out the route that provides you the greatest opportunity to reach your end goals and celebrating every little success along the way.
Believe – Every situation and circumstance, both positive and negative, is an opportunity for development. Nothing happens by chance.
Live – Integration through collaboration reminds us that there are many moving parts in our lives. We are often shaped by our friends, our family, our teachers, our mentors, our own beliefs, and our communities.
Educate – Education is a lifelong process that does not start or end with the ring of a bell. It’s also not a one size fits all approach. Education is about modification, adaptation, and creating opportunities for successful skill development.
Our Team
Supported by a management team with a collective 50+ years of field experience, our mentors are welcomed into a comfortable team atmosphere, with access to necessary training, and years of firsthand experience and knowledge. Our team comes from all walks of life, some with little or no experience in working with children or adults with special needs or mental health diagnoses. Regardless of their differences, they all exhibit an immense amount of passion, compassion, and creativity that lends to a collaborative working environment. Outside of a being a parent, most professions require college degrees and years of training and education to impact a life the way a mentor does.
