Frequently asked questions

Able Marga is an India-based publisher of structured, ability-based printable curriculum for children and learners with special needs, ages 2+. Its subjects include Life Skills, Functional Maths, Functional English and Social & Communication, using practical responses such as pointing, matching and card placement.

The resources are designed for parents teaching at home, therapists using structured activities in sessions, special educators and special needs and inclusive schools. They support learners with autism, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, ADHD, intellectual disability, developmental delay and nonverbal or AAC communication needs.

Able Marga was founded by SP, a parent and special education practitioner whose search for a respectful, structured way to help her autistic son learn led to the curriculum. Able Marga works alongside So-Hum Special School in India, where the materials are used and refined through everyday classroom teaching. Read the full story.

Able Marga is organised as a structured curriculum rather than an unrelated worksheet library. Skills follow a deliberate sequence across six ability levels, use accessible response methods, include adult guidance and connect printable practice to practical routines at home, school and therapy.

No. Each unit provides clear adult notes and a prompt order, so a parent or family member can begin without professional training. Therapists and educators can also connect the materials to existing learning goals and use the same language across sessions.

Able Marga has four curriculum subjects: Life Skills, Functional Maths, Functional English and Social & Communication. Level 1 is available now in all four subjects. The programme is planned across six ability-based levels, and Levels 2 to 6 will be added to the same subject pathways as they are released.

Choose by what the learner can do today, not by age, diagnosis, school class or expected grade. Use the free Placement Guide to compare current functional abilities in each subject. A learner can correctly begin at different levels in different subjects.

They are ability-based. The age guidance begins at 2+, but age does not decide the correct level. Older children, teenagers and adults who are developing foundational functional skills may also use earlier levels without the material being treated as a school-grade placement.

No. Able Marga is skill-based and ability-based rather than tied to one school board. The resources can be used alongside CBSE, state boards, NIOS, homeschooling, special-school or therapy goals when the selected activity matches the learner’s current functional target.

Yes. The materials are chosen by current ability rather than diagnostic label. Observe what the learner can understand and do, then use the Placement Guide to select a practical starting level. The guide supports resource selection and is not a diagnostic assessment.

No. You can buy one Level 1 subject for ₹999, or all four subjects together for ₹1,999. Focused resources such as picture card sets are also sold separately. A free sample in each subject lets you check the format before buying.

Yes. The Level 1 Four Subjects Complete Bundle includes Life Skills, Functional Maths, Functional English and Social & Communication for ₹1,999, compared with ₹3,996 when the four subjects are bought separately. See the bundle.

Level 2 is in development and does not have a release date yet. Message us on WhatsApp to be told when it launches. Meanwhile, a learner who has completed Level 1 in one subject can start Level 1 in another subject, or practise the same skills in new real-life settings.

Yes. Many activities allow the learner to respond by pointing, matching, circling or placing a card instead of speaking or writing. The visual response options are AAC-friendly and can sit alongside the communication approach already recommended for the individual learner.

Yes, for many learners. The materials suit children who benefit from clear visual choices, short activities, repetition and small teaching steps. Select by current ability and learning goal rather than diagnosis alone. The materials are educational resources and do not replace individual clinical or therapeutic advice.

Yes, particularly for learners who benefit from one concept at a time, repeated practice and prompts that support early success. The Placement Guide should still be used because individuals with the same diagnosis can have very different abilities, communication styles and support needs.

Yes. Levels describe functional ability, not age or intelligence. An older learner working on foundational routines, communication or number concepts can appropriately use Level 1. Choose materials whose visual presentation and practical goal feel respectful and relevant to that individual.
