Our parents provide some insight as to why The Rich Center for Autism is right for them. And honestly, we couldn’t say it better ourselves!
“It’s the one place where you feel just as comfortable as you do in your own home. Everyone is accepted and you don’t have to worry about being judged. At The Rich Center everyone gets it and you are never alone.”

“Bobby has made huge progress at The Rich Center. He still has a very long way to go, but we know he’s at the right place. His teachers are wonderful and they want him to progress just as much as we do.”

“It is a rare and wonderful thing to see someone else love your child and advocate for them as fiercely as The Rich Center teachers do. They are the heart and soul of the school”!

“It is not easy to know how to deal with students who are non-verbal and face physical challenges on a daily basis. Many families try to balance work, autism, and their own health issues with little to no help. My family feels so blessed to have a teaching and nursing staff that take such great care of our son.”
