Access Community Experience, INC. Making A Difference

Access Community Experience (ACE) is a 501(c) (3) not-for-profit organization incorporated in the State of Illinois for the purpose of providing community-based services to persons with developmental disabilities.

Our long term plan is to provide a wide array of services, including a day program that offers pre-vocational skills and work training, supported employment and developmental rehabilitation programs, work opportunities and senior programs.

We offer the highest quality of support to individuals with developmental disabilities in well-integrated residential settings. We are committed to providing consumer-driven programming and consumer-centered Community Integrated Living Arrangement (CILA), where the specific needs, preferences and choices of the individuals we serve constitute the driving force behind our operations.

ACE also provides 24-hour supervised group-homes and a wide array of supportive services for children with developmental services.

Our approach is rooted in a set of core values that define our purpose and perspective: Inspire self-confidence! Empower our consumers to lead productive and rewarding lives! Promote independence!
