Central Coast Autism Spectrum Center in San Luis Obispo, running on a shoestring, is able to offer support to 10-15 area families. Currently they offer early intervention in the form of ABA, speech therapy, social skills, with the goal of mainstreaming the kids. In addition, the center is the only one in the country to offer training and education to professionals in the field of autism. While funds are always needed, the center has demonstrated that as small as they are, they can still make a difference.
