Resource Directory

The resource directory includes a searchable database of self-submitted providers who specialize in working with people with autism.

While we do check each submission for obvious errors before they are included, the information may have changed since it was submitted, or it may have been submitted with errors. The directory is provided for the convenience of research purposes only. We are not recommending any particular service or provider. If you would like more provider information, please contact our Springfield office at 413-529-2428 or email autismconnections@pathlightgroup.org.

We are in the process of building this directory – please let us know if you have any difficulty in searching for a particular service or using the database in general.

Search hint: less is more! Some providers have not completed all of the information/search fields, which may limit the number of results you will get in any search. It is best to choose a broad range category, and then review the information carefully to see if they fit your needs. For example, some providers did not fill in the age range field, so if you limit your search by age, you will eliminate those providers even if they identify in their text description that they provide services for the age range you require.

Description: The College Experience is a residential, non-credit certificate program hosted by the College of St Rose in Albany NY. Through The College Experience, students with developmental disabilities can practice living independently, make friends, intern at area businesses and become part of a diverse campus community. The objective of the program is to give students with developmental disabilities opportunities similar to their siblings and high-school peers. These students have the chance to attend college in order to transition to independent adult life, but with accommodated instruction that addresses students’ needs for practical living and working skills.
