Organization Narrative
Autism Resource Center of Central Massachusetts was conceived in 1996 by a group of parents to serve primarily as an information and referral service for children and families affected by Autism Spectrum Disorders.

Funding from the Department of Developmental Services, supplemented by our own fund-raising, supports this program.
