Pre and Post IEP Meetings support

Access 1st Project Inc Professionals are committed to providing a comprehensive functional education to all individuals from school age to adulthood who have been systematically and academically oppressed. We are passionate in our belief that Every Student can Succeed and driven by our wholesome commitment to equity and social justice.

 The term “functional” connotes the skills and competencies needed by an individual to participate as fully as possible in the settings of home, community, school, and work. A remarkable significant outcome of functional education is increased independence, control over one’s life and others outside the school.
