CLOSING JULY 20, 2012

With great sadness, I report that the APS Autism Program will be closing its doors July 20th.  This was a very difficult decision; made after all possible strategies to continue were exhausted.   I feel truly blessed to have met and worked with everyone who attended and their caregivers and I have complete faith that our amazing participants will be able to find success and happiness in future endeavors. Thank you for your support!

Now OPEN for Intakes in Ivyland, PA!
