The Hummingbird  

 

A hummingbird can rotate each of its wings in a circle, allowing them to be the only bird which can fly forwards, backwards, up, down, sideways or sit in sheer space. To hover, hummingbirds move their wings forward and backward in a repeated figure eight, much like the arms of a swimmer treading water. Hummingbirds can move instantaneously in any direction, start from its perch at full speed, and doesn't necessarily slow up to land. Hummingbirds can even fly short distances upside down, a trick rollover they employ when being attacked by another bird.

    At ABLE Center for Independent Living, we are dedicated to the idea that everyone should be living life to its fullest potential.  We provide activities, education, and peer counseling for individuals desiring to "soar above all expectations".  We chose a hummingbird for our symbol because this remarkable bird  defies the odds, seemingly defying the law of physics, to do what he does.  He  "soars above all expectations".  He is one of the most remarkable of all the species when it comes to his abilities.  ABLE is about focusing on abilities.   ABLE teaches people to live independently, and assists in providing supports to promote independence in the above four core services.
