We deliver services with consistency, care, and we focus on measurable outcomes so that every student grows toward independence.

Our Core Values
The principles guide everything we do and ensure schools, families, and students can count on us

Child-Centered Purpose
Every decision begins with the needs and potential of the child. We work with schools to set realistic goals that challenge students while moving them closer to independence. By keeping the child at the center, we ensure every service is meaningful and tailored to their unique journey.

Measurable Results
We believe progress should be clear, trackable, and celebrated. Our team provides consistent updates, data, and observations so schools and families can see the impact of our work. This commitment to accountability helps districts meet State requirements while giving parents confidence in their child’s growth.

Collaborative Partnership. Ongoing Open, Honest Communications
Continuous progress is achieved when schools, families, and providers work together as one team. We listen, communicate openly and consistently, and we bring empathy to every relationship. By partnering closely with administrators, teachers, and parents, we create continuity and shared ownership of each child’s success.

Integrity & Accountability
We stand by our word and deliver on our commitments. Whether it’s responding quickly, being transparent with updates, or involving leadership directly, we ensure schools never feel left in the dark. Our open, honest approach has built long-standing trust with administrators, families, and professionals alike.
Why Access7?
We aren’t just another provider that fills a mandate. We are an extension of your educational team, collaborating openly, anticipating needs, and ensuring your school delivers measurable results and continuous progress for each student.
✅ A UNIQUE BLEND OF CARING PROFESSIONALS
Our team of highly trained clinicians, therapists and educators includes parents who’ve sat on both sides of the CSE table. They bring professional expertise and personal empathy to every student, school professional, and parent we work with. When we see a struggling child, we see our own children, and we work just as hard to overcome challenges and deliver results.
✅ ACTION WITHOUT BUREAUCRACY
Our founder and owner, Jo DiStefano, is involved in the day-to-day operations and every case. Jo ensures accountability, accessibility, and timely and consistent communication. Her motto is, "You'll never have to escalate; we're already paying attention.
✅ PROACTIVE PROBLEM SOLVERS
We train our team to proactively anticipate and address challenges early, communicate often, and never leave you in the dark.
