A curriculum, not a worksheet collection
How the curriculum is built
Skills are broken into the smallest teachable steps and stacked level by level, so a learner always has a clear next step.
Instead of choosing unrelated worksheets, parents and educators can follow an ordered teaching path. Each unit begins by checking the learner’s current ability, teaches one concept at a time and ends with a progress check before moving forward.
Teach one clear step at a time
Activities use an uncluttered, one-concept-per-page structure with practical adult guidance.
Prompt success, then fade support
Errorless teaching and prompt fading help the learner practise successfully before gradually becoming more independent.
Check progress before moving ahead
Pre-test, teaching and post-test activities make it easier to see what has been learned and what should come next.

Ability-based progression
The six levels—from first skills to real independence
Able Marga levels describe the learner’s current functional ability, not their age or the class they attend.
Start with the level that best matches what the learner can do today. Skills build gradually across six stages, giving parents, therapists and educators a clear next step without pushing the learner into work that is too difficult.
Important
A learner can be at different levels in different subjects. For example, they may be Level 1 in Functional Maths and Level 2 in Life Skills. Place each subject separately.
