Whole Person / Whole Community
We will strive to transform the lives of people experiencing autism by engaging and empowering independence within their community, creating inclusive communities that are strengthened by neurodiversity.
Why Estuary?
An estuary is a rare place where freshwater rivers and saltwater seas converge, nurturing a diverse plant and animal community that have adapted to the unique water and grow to thrive within and outside of it.
Our center will view those with autism as beautiful and unique as well, thriving in a safe and diverse community of individualized and holistic support. As an estuary gently and dynamically connects rivers with the greater sea, our intention is also to protect, nurture and bridge those whom we serve with the greater community.
