Our Mission and Philosophy:
Our mission is to help students with autism spectrum disorders, developmental disabilities, and behavioral challenges by providing comprehensive support services that lead to fulfilling and productive experiences in school, at home, and in the community. We believe all individuals have the right to access the community, and a thorough examination of each person’s life plan can enhance physical, emotional, and social well-being. By building skills and changing environments and support systems, we overcome barriers affecting quality of life. We rely on evidence-based interventions, grounded in empirical research, and believe in intervention occurring in natural settings with natural support. Our community outreach efforts, including our not-for-profit Positive Community Connections (PCC), provide additional resources, support, and funding for families.
