Asia Community Service was established in October 1996, as a non-profit organisation with the vision of empowering people with special needs towards a more meaningful and fulfilling life. The focus however is targeted towards young children and adults with intellectual disabilities. The organization is governed by a seven member Board of Directors and has its base in Penang, a northern state in Peninsular Malaysia. ACS is a member of the Penang State Social Welfare Council.

The rationale of setting up the organization derived from a four year joint research conducted by two of the founder members of the Board of Directors, Professor Ken Nakazawa of Japan College of Social Work and Associate Professor Dr Angeline Cheah of University Science of Malaysia.
