What Makes ACE Unique?

We pride ourselves on providing a unique and effective approach to supporting individuals with learning differences. Our commitment to accountability and affordability sets us apart.

Accountability and Progress

Clients receive personalized treatment plans with monthly progress summaries. We measure academic gains using standardized and criterion-based tests, and ensure client satisfaction through surveys, questionnaires, and face-to-face meetings. Follow-up and transitional services are also available.

Affordable, Non-profit Support

As a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, ACE is funded through tuition income on a sliding fee scale, along with generous donations from foundations and individuals. This allows us to offer our vital services affordably.

Your Journey with ACE

We guide you through each step of the process to ensure you receive the support you need.

1.                      Initial Inquiry/ Consultation

Interested individuals are asked to complete a case history questionnaire detailing the nature of the concern. 

Upon receiving the completed questionnaire, the clinic director will contact clients for a phone consultation or to schedule an in-person appointment.

2. Assessment and Planning

Formal diagnostic assessments are administered, if recommended, followed by a detailed report explaining the results  and a meeting to answer questions and talk about next steps. 

3. Instruction and Support

Clients who need it receive targeted instruction in academic, social, and/or job-related skills. Training in assistive technology and self-advocacy is also provided.

4.   Progress Monitoring

Regular progress summaries and satisfaction surveys ensure ongoing effectiveness and client engagement throughout the service period.

5. Transition and Follow-up

Follow-up and transitional services support clients in continuing their progress and success beyond their time at ACE.
