Individuals at any age can learn new strategies to engage in valued activities. Advancing Better Living for Elders or ABLE is a home-based intervention for functionally vulnerable older adults based on the Lifespan Theory of Control. An active phase of the intervention involves five occupational therapy sessions and one physical therapy home session (90 minutes) over six months. Use and challenges around the ABLE program are discussed.
