Ready & Able provides small group instruction through Connection Clubs. This cultivates a fun and supportive team building approach to learning. Unlike traditional academic models with a fixed roadmap, content and direction are determined by participants and their current stage in the independence journey. We’ll focus on topics related to independent living, social skills, and open-floor discussions about shared interests and goals.

Connection Clubs are weekly, one-hour online group coaching sessions involving approximately 4-6 participants. We cover a range of independent living and social skills with a strong emphasis on the development of the self: self-determination, self-reliance, self-confidence, self-actualization, etc. Connection Clubs provide the environment to create friendships, share common goals and challenges, and build a positive support team for navigating life.
We specialize in coaching young adults (18+) with intellectual and developmental disabilities in the transitional phase of life that follows public education, but also those interested in personal growth at any stage in life. We strive to create the right fit for every motivated participant.
We take a whole-person approach to building independence and social connection, and we do it in a supported team atmosphere. Our coaches have extensive backgrounds in the disability field and share the vision and determination to provide services with an authentic, out-of-the box approach. We believe in what we do and we have fun doing it.
