A Message from the Interim Director:

Welcome to Community Resources for People with Autism (CRPA). A premier resource center for families of children with autism, CRPA serves as the state Autism Support Center for the entire Western Massachusetts region.

Founded in 1989 by parents of children with autism, CRPA's goals were: to help families, schools, professionals, agencies and communities understand autism; to promote the well-being of individuals with autism; and to foster community inclusion. Consistent with our founders' intent, we remain, twenty-two years later, committed to helping families build on their strengths, work as a unified voice to create environments where individuals with autism are welcomed, honored, dignified, and valued. We welcome you and invite you to call or come by our office. Our skilled and caring staff are here to help you and your family.
