We are moms, educators, and clinicians who CARE.

Our goal is to help families navigate challenges, overcome adversity, feel heard, and move forward with confidence and strength.  

Seeing a gap in the support systems for families with neurodivergent children, we knew there needed to be a change. We created The Autism Resource Center to increase the support and resources available to families who are navigating clinical, educational, and government systems for individuals with disabilities. 

Our Mission:

To provide compassionate and ethical services to families in need, with a focus on comprehensive diagnostic assessments and supportive guidance. We strive to empower families by providing them with the tools and resources they need to navigate difficult times, while prioritizing their privacy and autonomy. Our team is dedicated to fostering a welcoming and inclusive environment that recognizes and celebrates the unique strengths and challenges of every individual. We are committed to promoting understanding, acceptance, and positive change in the lives of those we serve, and in the broader community.
