Touchstone's Autism Center of Excellence is dedicated to improving the lives of individuals with or at risk of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and their families. Our commitment is demonstrated through the provision of evidence-based services, educating families, service providers, and community partners on ASD and related topics, and collaborating with community partners to ensure the best behavioral and physical healthcare for our Members. Touchstone's Autism Center of Excellence utilizes a whole person approach to promote independence for our Members and their families. As part of this approach, the Member's behavioral and physical healthcare needs, as well as the wellness of the family system, are evaluated in order to identify the most appropriate services. Services provided inside the Autism Center of Excellence are family-focused and grounded in the science of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). Families are connected to community-based resources including organizations that offer free parent education, advocacy and support groups, and socialization opportunities for parents and children throughout their treatment.
