  About Morgan Autism Center

Morgan Autism Center’s mission is to help children and adults with autism or other developmental disabilities maximize their potential in a dignified, positive and loving environment. Since our founding in 1969, we have implemented a person centered approach that believed our students could learn. Our innovative approach is built upon developing strong trust-based relationships with our students and adult clients, a unique rotational model with deeply embedded communication supports, and a positive approach to behavior. This combination has resulted in students and adult clients finding success here where they haven’t elsewhere. By being safe, loved, and ready to learn, our students and adult clients are able to fulfill their potential to be lifelong learners. Our model is now recognized internationally as a best practices demonstration of how to serve students and adults who are significantly impacted by autism.

The Morgan Autism Center School Program serves students ages 5 – 22 years old with autism and other developmental disabilities in a teaching environment with a 1:1 staff-to-student ratio. Founded in 1985, our Adult Program serves 50 clients participating in a wide range of engaging and enriching activities throughout the day. We believe in creating ample opportunities for continued learning to support our adults under the Morgan Autism Center model.

We are excited to have just completed our new Vision 2030 plan. Our Vision 2030 focuses on significantly expanding our school and adult programs, building a better bridge between our two programs, and deepening our community-based programming.
