Celebrating its 40th anniversary this year, ACCEL is dedicated to providing educational, behavioral, therapeutic and employment programs to individuals who have developmental disabilities, and give them the necessary skills to learn, to work and live successfully with dignity and independence.
ACCEL started as a small school with only 49 students and has grown to 500 individuals at three campuses across the Valley: Metro Campus in Phoenix, East Campus in Tempe and a satellite campus in Buckeye. ACCEL utilizes evidence-based practices in its programs, including school programs, clinical services, community-based behavioral consulting, life skills, employment training, on-the-job coaching and adult services.
