ACC's STEPS is a two-year program for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities interested in gaining skills to enter the workforce or continue to develop their education. STEPS provides support to help adults achieve their individualized goals. Working together with agencies and schools, we provide comprehensive support throughout their entire two years leading towards increased independence and employability. Our program is housed at the Northridge Campus, but we do have the program at other campus locations throughout Austin & surrounding areas.
