Our Future

A Long Range Plan

Our Goal

Our goal is simple but ambitious.  We desire to become a nationally pre-eminent institution for research, education, and treatment of autism spectrum disorders and other pervasive developmental disorders. 

But most importantly, we desire to become a place where children experiencing such disorders are free to become fully themselves.

Phase I - Beginnings through Year 5 

To accomplish this goal, we have developed a long range plan comprised of three phases.  Phase I involves expanding the school to provide services for children age 3 through young adulthood in grades preschool through high school.  Our learning center will expand to provide diagnostic, therapeutic, and clinical services to children, individuals, and families.  The center will also provide training services for professionals involved in working in this area, continuing education and training for families and parents, as well as other community outreach services.

 Phase II - Year 3 through Year 6

Beginning in Year 3, we will initiate a search for a suitable site for the construction of permanent facilities for the school and learning center.  A capital campaign will be instituted to raise needed capital to complete construction.  Construction will begin in Year 4 with expectations that we will move into the new facilities beginning of Year 6.

 Phase III - Year 8 through Year 15
