Mission Statement
Enriching the lives of people with autism through meaningful community integration
About This Cause
The Estuary Center (TEC) is a private therapy program dedicated to life skills and community integration of teens and adults with autism. Our program is rooted in the scientific evidence-based practices of Applied Behavioral Analysis and Community-Based Instruction. Our program offers full day, year round services with a 1:1 student to therapist ratio. The Estuary Center’s therapeutic approach is centered in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) with a modernized perspective and application. Our emphasis is on community-based and natural environment learning. The dignity, uniqueness, safety and autonomy of our students is paramount, and the skills we teach are all focused on helping students live a life of their choosing. All goals are set in collaboration with students and their families/caregivers, with a focus on independence, community connection, and passion-driven engagement/employment. While our therapy program strives to teach students the skills needed to thrive, our community outreach is of equal importance. We are committed to Advocacy as one of our Core Values. We view ourselves as a catalyst for autism acceptance, and form strong partnerships with our neighborhood businesses, programs, leaders and members. We educate our students’ communities on the challenges and strengths of autism, to see the value each autistic individual brings, and give them the foundational understanding needed to form meaningful, and lasting relationships.
