CapABLE is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with a mission to educate and empower all students. As the daughter of educators and the sister to a child with a disability, CapABLE founder Vivian O’Neal was quick to develop a connection with students with disabilities and pay attention to how they were perceived by other children. Watching her brother Josiah grow up showed her that not everybody truly knows how to appropriately bridge the gap between those with a disability and those without. This mindset can often lead to bullying in the future and the reason can be as innocent as a lack of education or exposure. That is why CapABLE was created.
Today, over 50,000 students nationwide are implementing CapABLE into their relationships. We are dedicated to eliminating that social barrier that keeps students with disabilities from thriving, while supporting educators with the free resources to help their students on that path.
