Your Gift Can Make a Difference

Optimal ACCESS is committed to supporting autistic students and others with complex communication and neuromotor challenges to demonstrate their full potential through opportunities, innovative supports and accommodations, and meaningful relationships.
We have 4 main programs that help us accomplish our mission: 

• ACCESS Academy, powered by Keystone, a virtual therapeutic day school for nonspeaking students who are struggling to make academic progress with the supports that are available in a public school environment
• ACCESS2Academics (A2A), powered by Keystone, a virtual therapeutic home education program (Eligible for ESA funding)
• ACCESS Family, a therapeutic intensive training opportunity for families of nonspeaking students to help them become better equipped to understand the challenges their nonspeaking loved one faces and the supports that work to improve all of their lives.
• Rethinking Autism Training, in-person and virtual training modules uncovering the neuromotor and sensory challenges faced by nonspeaking individuals, from the perspectives of science and the lived experience of nonspeakers. Training is available for parents, teachers, medical professionals and first responders, direct support professionals, therapists, and a variety of other service providers.

With your support, more young people will have the opportunity to thrive and gain an education. As the saying goes: "many hands make the work light." 

Together we can buoy the next group of nonspeaking students and build a better tomorrow for them and their families.
