Originally founded in 2001 (as For OC Kids), The Center for Autism is home to a team of experts in the field of autism and neurodevelopmental disorders. Since our opening, we’ve been a leader in assessment, diagnosis, care coordination, family support and education for children with autism spectrum and other neurodevelopmental disorders. Our goal is to give help and hope to children and families living with autism, ADHD and other neurodevelopmental disorders. If your family is touched by one of these disorders, we want you to know that we understand, we care, and we’re here to help. For more information please visit www.thecenter4autism.org

A huge thank you to our incredible donors for their generous support! ❤️ Because of you, we were able to purchase a wonderful new collection of books for our Reach Out and Read program.📚

​These books will make a real difference in the lives of our families, helping to build strong bonds and a love for reading from a young age. 💯

​We encourage all our families to read aloud to their little ones, even before they can understand the words. It teaches them to associate books with love and affection. Your voice is a powerful tool for connection and a beautiful way to introduce your child to the world of stories.
