| Self-Paced Classes |
| A hallmark of Operation ABLE is the individual
training provided to adults. Our computer training centers feature personalized
learning plans developed by our instructors and students to create a learning opportunity
that meets the goals of each student. Our classes are self-paced so there is less pressure to compete and more focus on what each student needs to learn. Class sizes are small to allow significant one-on-one instruction by our teachers and to provide a non-threatening and supportive environment.  Dates and times are set by each
student and are based on classroom availability. Locations: Southfield Center or
Hannan House. Fee: $196 for 14-hour module. |
