ACCESS Group, Inc. achieves success through methods that define a quality program:
- Professional Staff – ACCESS classes are taught with a teacher and a teaching assistant assigned to each class. Classes for students age 2 and older are taught by a master’s level educator. Therapists specialize in many specific therapy approaches selected to match the needs of our students. ACCESS employs an in-house PhD-level clinical psychologist.
- Natural Learning Environments – ACCESS pediatric therapists apply skills to the natural environment with home visits and field trips and by using the school campus to practice applying newly acquired skills. Therapists often use the integrated therapy model and go directly into the classroom, where they can accomplish therapy in a naturalistic environment and work on using skills learned in the therapy room within a classroom setting.
- Comprehensive Services - In addition to school-based programs, ACCESS offers speech, occupational and physical therapy; tutoring services and comprehensive developmental, psychological and educational evaluations (cognitive testing). Our resources include tutoring services and educational technology consultations.
- Intensity – When participating in incremental, multi-sensory programs with great intensity, students have the maximum opportunity for success. ACCESS offers a language-based curriculum. Creating a solid language foundation is crucial for academic development in the elementary school years. Speech and language are the stepping-stones for reading success, which ultimately affects all academic areas. See more about reading disorders>
