Level up your game: How ABLE United can help you save for adaptive sports

ABLE United, Florida’s disability savings program offers tax-free savings and investment accounts for individuals with a qualifying disability and their families to save funds to support health, independence, and quality of life.

• Save in a tax-advantaged ABLE account, without impacting eligibility for public benefit programs like Supplemental Security Income or Medicaid.
• Managed by the Florida Prepaid College Board, providing you with more than 30 years of financial expertise.
• ABLE accounts are very flexible, and funds may be used for everyday living expenses, such as school related expenses, and medical appointments, or for future expenses like purchasing a car or house. They even cover sports-related costs!

Here's how ABLE United can help you reach your full potential on the court, field, or track:

• Adaptive Equipment: Whether you need a specialized sports wheelchair, a prosthetic limb, or other adaptive equipment, ABLE United funds can help cover these costs.
  
• Registration Fees and League Participation: League fees, tournament entries, and camp costs can all be paid for with your ABLE account, making participation in organized sports more accessible.
• Travel and Transportation: Getting to and from practices, games, or competitions can be expensive. Funds in your ABLE account can be used for gas, public transportation, or even accessible van rentals.
• Sports Apparel and Footwear: Finding the right clothing and shoes for adapted sports can be a challenge. ABLE United funds can help you purchase comfortable and functional gear to keep you performing at your best.
