We aim for our website to reflect The Autism Project’s commitment to community and inclusion. We use both person-first language (“person with autism”) and identity-first language (“autistic person”) across our site to respect individual choice.

The Autism Project is an affiliate of Gateway Healthcare, a Lifespan partner. With multiple locations throughout Rhode Island, Gateway is the largest provider of behavioral health care services in the state and serves more than 15,000 clients annually. Learn more about our partnership »
