Why Work for Us

Children’s Autism Center was founded by a small group of dedicated parents and staff members who wanted to improve the lives of others. Our passion continues today and defines who we are and what we do. Our goal to provide ABA services to every child in need. Besides the center, home, community, and school-based services, our goal is to train parents to implement these ABA strategies with their child, regardless of their ability to pay.

Our Core Values

We demonstrate optimism, passion, playfulness, and tenacity in our work. We believe our learners will grow and make progress when we work to teach every tool in our ABA toolbox. We do this with enthusiasm and fun — we recognize learning is difficult for children with autism, so our goal is to make the teaching environment as fun as possible.
We are striving for excellence in all we do. We continually challenge ourselves to improve our services by utilizing the most current literature and evidence-based strategies.
A comprehensive approach to care. We treat the whole child in every environment — meaning we support the child along with his or her family and teachers to maximize the impact.

What our staff members say

“I like working at CAC because every day is a surprise. I never know what new things I’m going to learn or what exciting experiences will happen. Working at CAC has been great. I enjoyed going to the center and working with all our clients. But since starting in-home therapy, I realized I don’t only like my job. I LOVE it.”

“I love working for CAC. They have been nothing but supportive and caring. Everyone here is like a family, and the kids are just amazing. I’m happy to come in every day and could not see myself anywhere else. Everyone here has a passion for helping kids and grow with them every day. Kids are happy to be here and see smiles and cheer in every room.”
— ANA N., RBT

“I have been an RBT at CAC for four and a half years, and the milestones that I have watched clients reach are nothing short of AMAZING.
