Parents
“We cannot say enough good things about ACI. They are student focused and ensure that the program meets the students’ needs. Sherri and Rob have created a diverse program to provide as many learning opportunities as possible. The environment is warm, safe, and comfortable for the students. They are very focused in ensuring that parents are involved and know what their son or daughter is doing. Feedback is excellent as is their responsiveness. Our son has thrived in this program, and he so looks forward to going. Would highly recommend this program.” – Milka
“We cannot say enough about the awesome experience we’ve had with the ACI program! All the staff are amazingly dedicated to supporting these young adults and achieving their highest potential. They wholeheartedly believe in the students and help them believe in themselves which is magical to watch. We have watched our son, Marc, grow in so many ways and day by day, he moves towards greater independence. One of the most important goals of this program is to teach the students skills that will help make them employable. They also network with the community to find workplace opportunities for hands-on experience that allows for these skills to develop which is truly invaluable for the student. Miss Sherri, and all the ACI dream team are simply the best! Couldn’t be more grateful to be a part of this community” –Tina Marcelli
