ACCI's (American Community Corrections Institute) evidence-based cognitive lifeskills courses were established by founder Larry Lloyd in 1975. Studies have indicated a reduction in recidivism rates of 20%-30% (normal is 8%-10%) using ACCI's curriculum. Our courses contain the most current and effective cognitive change curriculum available and are currently being utilized by local Probation, Federal Probation, Justice of the Peace, TDCJ, and Municipal Courts.

Student progress is tracked and stored in virtual folders which are accessible to the referring agency 24/7. In addition, we utilize a unique concept giving students the opportunity to work with an effective coach. The term “coach” is a generic term that we use to refer to the person who will sit down and go through the assigned life skills course along side the student. We have learned that it is within the context of healthy, pro-social relationships that learning and change takes place.
