About us

The vision for the Estuary Center is founded on the need for people with autism to have a better quality of life — today and in the future.

The Estuary Center is a nonprofit,  skill-building organization serving teens and adults with autism. Our primary focus is always on what our students can do with the right support and combination of therapy.  We are committed to a unique student-led learning model that ensures that our core mission and values of the program are demonstrated throughout daily learning and community integration.  Our enrichment program provides the development of the whole person by giving students opportunities to explore their passions in art, music, recreation, and vocational exploration; always working toward adult independence.  We partner with our community to form lasting relationships and create more inclusive environments where our students can grow.

We believe that every person deserves to belong, to live in community, to live with passion, and to grow in a supportive environment.
