Narrative
Our vision is to be the center of the autism community in Central Massachusetts.
To carry out this mission, we provide vital services such as education, family activities, referrals, and support to families affected by ASD. We offer information on a great variety of issues. Parents and professionals can have what they need to provide effective support to individuals with ASD.
This program is funded by the Department of Developmental Services (DDS) and administered by Advocates.
Advocates is a nonprofit organization who champions people who face developmental, mental health, or other life challenges. We partner with individuals and families to shape creative solutions to even the greatest obstacles.
