Autism Collaborative Centers of Excellence

Autism Collaborative Centers of Excellence (ACCE) is a major regional initiative spearheaded by AllOne Foundation. ACCE is designed to substantially improve the service delivery system and minimize service gaps for individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and their families living in Northeast and North Central Pennsylvania. 

ACCE brings together the expertise of the University of Scranton, Geisinger Autism and Developmental Medicine, Hope Enterprises, Friendship House, Children’s Service Center and Misericordia University. The collaboration also includes special programs at Goodwill Industries, Allied Services, Luzerne County ARC, and NEPA Center for Independent Living. 



ACCE delivers a full array of services and support for individuals with ASD, from early intervention to adult services. A coordinated network of qualified ASD providers facilitates regional access to evidence-based care. ACCE has also enhanced undergraduate and graduate training opportunities in ASD-related fields to create a competent, skilled workforce for the region.
