What is SPARC?
SPARC serves
children and adolescents with an autism spectrum disorder. Our
mission is to offer empirically validated behavioral treatment
programs to aid families in their journey through the
developmental disabilities maze, so that both children and
families receive state of the art therapeutic services that will
help them in all facets of their lives. We strive to offer
comprehensive services that will facilitate academic, social,
and personal growth.
The Center provides both Center- and community-based diagnostic,
therapeutic, and educational services to clients. The Center
will also provide educational and consultative services to
community organizations such as parent groups, schools and other
service agencies.
