The Mission
The mission of the Autism Treatment Center is to assist people with autism
and related disorders throughout their lives as they learn, play, work and
live in the community.
Values
- ATC will promote and support the personal success of each consumer.
- ATC will treat each consumer with respect, courtesy and dignity.
- ATC will assist the people we serve to develop means and opportunities
to communicate needs, desires, feelings, and to make personal choices.
- ATC will provide a learning environment, which will increase competence
and independence in both functional and enriching activities. Individual
abilities, interests, and preferences of the people we serve will be the
prime consideration in providing for a balance of education, work and
leisure.
- ATC will strive for a collaborative effort by staff, family members, outside
individuals and agencies and will use a wide range of approaches to bring
about gains in all areas of development.
- ATC will maintain a qualified, competent and ethical staff who are provided
continual opportunities for professional and personal growth and are encouraged
to be involved in a process of participatory management and to exercise
initiative to pursue innovative program development.
- ATC is committed to carrying out the mission by making use of the most
promising professional practices, frequently evaluating our methods of
operating and by remaining receptive to new ideas and change.
