2011 TAKE TIME TO GIVE PRIMARY CHARITY

ACCESS Group Inc. offers evaluation services, full-time education, therapy, training and activities for infants, children and youths with developmental delays and learning disabilities. Founded in 1994 by two speech-language pathologists and a special educator, the center comprises three main branches: ACCESS Evaluation and Resource Center (offering developmental, psychological and cognitive evaluations; specialized tutoring; and technology training for students, parents and professionals), ACCESS Therapy (an outpatient pediatric speech, physical and occupational therapy clinic), and ACCESS Schools (an infant stimulation program, preschool and academy serving children and youths ages six weeks old to 21).

The mission of ACCESS is to expand individual potential through innovative instruction. The school and resource center serves children diagnosed with apraxia, autism, ADHD, dyslexia, feeding disorders, hearing and language impairments, reading disorders, sensory integration disorders and more.

Although ACCESS receives state and federal funding and grants, funding for special education is limited. The nonprofit depends on the generosity of individuals and corporations to bridge the gap between what it collects for services and what services cost.
