ARTS AND SERVICES FOR DISABLED INCORPORATED
Fueling creative opportunities for people of all abilities. The primary mission of Able ARTS Work (AAW) is “Love Before Learning. Learn for Life.” Based on psychologist Maslow’s Hierarchy of Human Needs, our primary vision is to provide life-long learning, community service, and vocational opportunities through the creative arts for people with disabilities of all ages in an environment of warmth, encouragement, and inclusion. In alignment with our vision, AAW provides lifelong learning and life-skills coaching to children, adolescents and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities using pioneering, evidence-based therapeutic interventions that employ the full spectrum of the Creative Arts.
