Imagine a world where everyone, regardless of their abilities, has the chance to live a life filled with independence and joy. At ACCEL, we're building that world. We empower individuals who have disabilities to learn, grow, and thrive by providing individualized educational, behavioral, therapeutic, and vocational programs
Every day at ACCEL we see real and meaningful progress. We see children develop essential life skills. We witness adults gain independence and contribute to their communities. Families find the support and resources they need to thrive. We are proud to be a part of these incredible journeys of growth and achievement.
But we can't do this alone. Your generous support will directly fund programs that:
- Equip children with essential academic, social-emotional, and life skills.
- Empower students to reach their maximum level of independence, tailored to their unique needs and goals.
- Support adults in finding fulfilling jobs and build meaningful relationships.
- Provide families with the resources and guidance they need to thrive.

- “I love doing everything from the coffee shop and working the laundry and baking and helping out whenever I can. I love hanging out with the staff, especially Susanne. I just, I mean I love being here. I love working.”
- Khyren, Kimberly, & Oren
- “When we pick up our son at the end of his school day, we see within him the pride of accomplishment, the pride of a job well done. We hear his excitement and joy from being trusted with assignments and working with other students to complete them. We see the self-confidence that comes with the feeling of being important - that he is needed and appreciated for the skills he can bring to the table. We feel the calm within him that comes from having a sense of belonging to a community and participating in its existence.
- ACCEL is all about taking each individual child and helping them expand their vision for themselves...and helping parents to see that too. We do not know what our son's education would look like without this wonderful school or its caring, driven staff - but we do know that we are abundantly blessed to have it and Khyren has a more promising future because of his enrollment there.”
- Connor & Kimberly
- “We have seen Connor grow so much at ACCEL. Connor has learned to pick up on more social cues. The most noticeable growth is in his desire to be independent. He has more confidence in himself. He tells us what he wants to do in the future. He frequently says, ‘Don’t worry. I got this!’”
