The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that autism now impacts an average of one in every 36 children. Autism is now more prevalent in California than childhood cancer, diabetes, and Down syndrome.

We have an energized team that is dedicated to making a difference in the lives of the families we serve. Become a part of a premier program while living in sunny Santa Cruz.
