Autism Services Association

Autism Services Association, a private non-profit human service agency, provides community employment services, supported employment, Day Habilitation Program, and other clinical supports to young adults and adults with autism and other challenging developmental disabilities in Central and Eastern Massachusetts. Established in 1963, the agency serves individuals aged 16 or older with a diagnosis of autism and/or other developmental disability, in need of services integrated into the community. They offer individualized attention and services based on the unique learning style of each individual, community experience and integration, and community work opportunities integrated with typical non-disabled employees. Their programs focus on community placements, tryouts, risk-taking, rather than behavioral readiness before being referred for placement. The agency's goal is to empower individuals with autism to achieve vocational success and independence.
