ASC's Philosophy
Serving People With Autism, Other Developmental Disabilities and Those Who Care for and About Them
ASC was founded on the belief that each person with a developmental disability has the capacity for growth and development. Each individual has a right to services that enhance well-being, quality of life, and opportunities to learn. Each should have access to the most normal and least restrictive social and physical environments consistent with his or her needs. Those with even the most challenging behaviors can respond to dignified interaction in a structured, meaningful program with appropriately trained and supervised staff and the appropriate client/staff ratio. ASC encourages the use of best clinical practices and believes everyone has the right to effective treatment.
