Working at The Autism Project
The Autism Project staff are a committed group that values learning and practice, developing self-awareness, purposeful collaboration, and nurturing communities in which individuals with ASD and other communication, regulation, or social-emotional challenges can thrive. We understand behavior as communication and we strive to support individuals in developing skills that enable them to live more meaningful, purposeful lives.
