1924. During that time we’ve grown beyond our initial mission as a children’s home to encompass
adoption, foster care and family preservation services, autism treatment, residential living and
vocational services for developmentally disabled adults and mental health counseling and services.
The Autism Connections Program assists individuals with autism, their families, and their communities by
offering a wide range of educational, therapeutic and support services. Therapies and skills training promote
