Time and time again, we hear personal stories of how HMEA’s Autism Resource Central is a source of strength and support for those affected by ASD.

Our families give back, reaching out to their families and beyond to share how the Center has been the ‘center’ of their family’s life. But, they can’t do it alone.

As a program of HMEA, Inc., we are a 501c(3) organization that relies primarily on grants, corporate partnerships, and the support of our community. When you give to HMEA’s Autism Resource Central, you can be certain that every dollar will support families in central Massachusetts.
