Our Mission
 

Mission for Educating Children with Autism "MECA" assists individuals with autism in reaching their full potential as productive, socially-connected, and personally-fulfilled individuals by establishing appropriate educational and community programs in the least restrictive environment possible, by raising the general public's awareness of autism, by advocating for greater acceptance and support of individuals with autism, and by facilitating opportunities for persons with autism to participate more fully in their communities.
