elcome to Access Services. Creating better ways to serve people with special needs in and around Fort Washington, Bethlehem, and Orwigsburg, Pennsylvania.
In 1976 a local group of Christian social workers frustrated by the gaps in services provided for people with mental retardation in their community formed Access Services to develop innovative ways to meet some of these needs. The first community homes opened in Montgomery County in 1978 to accommodate people released from Pennhurst and other large institutions. Six years later, Access Services was asked to operate ten group homes in Northeastern Pennsylvania. As time went on, the organization expanded its services to include other community-based specialized services for children and adults with mental health needs, as well as more options for people with developmental disabilities. As their excellent reputation grew, so did the call for services from individuals, families, and county agencies. Today with over 30 years of service, staff members at Access Services work with the Offices of Mental Health and Mental Retardation and the Office of Children and Youth Services in ten (10) Southeastern Pennsylvania counties. The dedication and innovative services offered by Access Services continue to bridge the gaps as it seeks to provide those it serves a sense of belonging and fulfillment within their communities.
