Testimonials

"It gave me pointers to not let anger take control of me and also it's helped me to communicate better with my wife and others. It's opened my eyes to how I was. Now I take the time to hear others before responding (acting out). It gave me strength to want to change."

The ACCI Story

ACCI traces its roots to its first life skills class that was taught in Walnut Creek California,in October of 1975. Larry Lloyd and Dr. Lynn Dalton were the founders. The first class was a behavioral traffic school taught by Mr. Lloyd. The class was so effective that soon classes for shoplifting offenders were added, along with other types of classes. Dr. Dalton was an  extremely talented facilitator, educator and motivator.  He has passed away but he left a lasting legacy. Today Mr. Lloyd is the chief architect and author of ACCI's cognitive life skills workbooks. He attributes some of his success to the numerous counselors and therapists who have contributed over the years.
