HistoryEdit
Able has been the newspaper for disabled people for twenty years. It was founded by Angela Miele Melledy in 1991.
Starting small Melledy labelled the newspapers in her garage with the help of her mother Fannie Miele and her sons James and Louis Melledy. As the paper grew it was able to hire mailing companies and staff to handle these tasks.
Able has received awards starting with the Easter Seals EDI (Equality, Dignity and Independence) Award including awards and commendations from public officials and organizations such as the United Spinal Association, the Suffolk Independent Living Organization, Nassau County, United Cerebral Palsy of New York City and the New York City Comptroller.
