Able Inc
ableinc.org
Visalia, CA 93291

Able began in 1960 as the Tulare County Training Center for the Handicapped. It started with a volunteer staff and a client population of under 20 individuals. While beginning as a drop-in center for arts and crafts it grew over time to incorporate work training as its primary focus. Stuffing envelopes, packaging, and product sorting were early contracts with local businesses. Over time, the agency has grown to provide services to the greater part of Tulare County. We currently have a 55,000 square foot facility in the Industrial Park of Visalia allowing for production training, warehousing, and location of our administrative offices and integrated and competitive community employment programs. While this facility focuses primarily on work training and community employment services, Able has a day training program, the Life Skills Learning Center, located in its former community work center in Visalia. This program addresses the life skill needs of adults with more severe developmental challenges.

WHAT IS THE BENZODIAZEPINE CRISIS?  The medical literature shows that benzodiazepines can be safe and effective only when used short-term for specific diagnoses.  They are often dangerously over-prescribed, and have been proven to often cause physiological dependence and foster a withdrawal syndrome.  All too often, this leads to a longer-term benzodiazepine injury syndrome.  The Alliance for Benzodiazepine Best Practices is here to help.
