Downers Grove – Adult Learning Center

At a.c.e. therapies – Adult Learning Center, our mission is rooted in a personal story: a family navigating the complex needs of an adult with a disability, committed to creating something better for their community. This center is our response—our call to action—to provide high-quality, individualized therapy for an often overlooked and underserved population.

A One-of-a-Kind Therapeutic Environment

Located in Downers Grove, our Adult Learning Center offers a unique, inclusive space where adults with developmental disabilities can learn, grow, and thrive. We’ve built a therapeutic environment designed specifically for transition-aged individuals and adults, with support from a multidisciplinary team of experienced clinicians.

Our therapists use evidence-based approaches, including Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), Occupational Therapy, and Speech-Language Therapy, to teach functional life, social, and vocational skills in both real-world settings and natural environments—ensuring long-term, meaningful progress.

Tailored Treatment, Real Impact

We do not believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Every adult client receives a comprehensive assessment and a customized treatment plan based on their unique strengths, goals, and support needs. Whether you’re seeking help with communication, daily living, job readiness, or social skills, our team is here to help.
