Our Impact
For 25 years, the Matthew Reardon Center for Autism (MRCA) has been a trusted resource for children, families, and professionals across our community. Every program we offer—Advance Academy, Advocacy Services, and Community Learning—is designed to expand opportunities, reduce barriers, and improve outcomes for individuals with autism.
By the Numbers
- More than 1,500 families supported since our founding
- Approximately $100,000 in tuition assistance awarded each year to ensure access for families in need
- Inclusive education through Advance Academy, serving students ages 5–21 with a 3:1 student-to-staff ratio
- Community reach through workshops, roundtables, and trainings that share evidence-based strategies with parents, educators, and professionals
- No-cost advocacy services to help families navigate special education and secure the supports their children deserve
Beyond the Numbers
Our impact is measured not only in data, but in stories—students finding their voice, families discovering hope, and schools building more inclusive environments. MRCA is more than a center; it is a community of support, empowerment, and possibility.
