Formed in 2002, Professional Agencies for Children's Therapy Services (ACTS) is an association of approximately 25 agencies providing Early Intervention, Pre-K, Special Education, and School Age Special Education service.  These collective agencies are located on Long Island and in New York City.  We serve approximately 25,000 infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school-age children in all five boroughs of New York City, as well as Nassau, Suffolk, Westchester, and Orange Counties.

The agencies of ACTS predominantly provide service in home and community settings, through sub-contracts with independent therapists, though we also provide facility-based individual/collateral, parent-child group, group developmental intervention, and family/caregiver support group services.  The clinical focus includes the full spectrum of services, including evaluations, therapy, and service coordination. 

ACTS is the first and most active organization that solely represents the views of Early Intervention Providers who predominantly serve children and families in their home and community settings.
