The Autism Treatment Center is a large and diverse family. It is evident that our family, and likely yours, is hurting.
We stand in solidarity with our family of team members, parents, and the community against racism in all forms.
We are committed to listening to, learning from, and respecting the experiences and lives of all members of this family.
Our motto is to change lives and build futures – for ALL.

News & Events
Help us celebrate 44 years by making a donation that includes the number 44! Anything from $.44 to $444 will help keep our mission going for another 44 years, and beyond!
ATC was established in 1976 when autism was still a largely mysterious developmental disorder. In fact, it was such a rarity that 1 in 10,000 children were diagnosed with autism (now 1 in 54). |
Parking lot pep rally!
We celebrated local teenager AJ Ortiz with a parking lot pep rally! During the time of COVID-19, AJ decided to fundraise for and donate more than 140 hours of service, in just 3 weeks, to create almost 200 handmade Autism Awareness key chains. He chose ATC as one of its benefactors, and presented a check of $576! |

Since the beginning of #SaferAtHome, ATC has received more than 200 handmade cloth face masks made by community volunteers to keep our staff and individuals safe and healthy. Even though you can't see our smiles behind the masks, they are there!
