Ability Building Services has an Admissions Committee.  The Admissions Committee reviews all applicants who wish to obtain services from ABS.  Functions of the Admission Committee are as follows:

1. The Admission Committee Chairperson will initially review all referrals.  Referrals not meeting eligibility requirements will receive notification and be referred to other appropriate agencies.
2. For applicants who meet the eligibility requirements, their information is reviewed by the Admission Committee.
3. The Admission Committee identifies the person’s needs and whether or not ABS can provide the services he/she is seeking.
4. Should the Admission Committee agree that ABS can meet the person’s needs, his/her name is added to the waiting list.
5. An opening in the appropriate environment(s) and a funding source must be secure before the person can begin receiving services from ABS.

The Admissions Committee will only admit those people whose needs can be met by ABS directly or in cooperation with community resources or other service providers with which ABS is affiliated.
