Community Autism Resources is a family created and oriented community services organization. The valuable input we receive from families and professionals sustains our continued focus on assisting and educating families and professionals so that they can better meet the needs of persons with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). We do this by building collaborative relationships with those involved, in an effort to provide comprehensive and individually tailored supports.



Community Autism Resources, CAR, is a non-profit 501c3 autism resource and support center. Although CAR is partially funded by the Department of Developmental Services, we depend on fundraising to continue to provide the FREE and vital services and support to children and adults with Autism Spectrum Disorders and their families, as they face the everyday challenges of living with autism. We provide these services at NO cost to over 4000 families in the 82 cities and towns in Southeastern MA, Cape Cod, and the Islands. 



We value interventions that are as individualized as the person requesting assistance. Persons with ASD have the right to strategies which are holistic in approach and respectful of the persons’ dignity and value. Working collaboratively with families, professionals, and members of the community to enhance the quality of life for the person with ASD. Providing individuals with a broad spectrum of quality resources, rooted in current research and eclectic in their approach. 



We acknowledge shared expertise amongst family members, school personnel, adult service providers and our staff. Utilizes a “Mentoring Model” to complement or enhance the skills of the individuals living with the person with ASD. Offers short term, yet intensive support.
