The Indiana Resource Center for Autism is dedicated to promoting and contributing to the well-being, self-advocacy, and autonomy of Autistic individuals across the Autism spectrum and throughout all stages of life. We empower individuals and engage systems through three branches of the IRCA: Training, School, and Community.
At the Indiana Resource Center for Autism, we remain steadfast in our commitment to supporting and empowering autistic individuals and their families across Indiana. We believe in a neuroaffirming approach that celebrates the diversity and strengths of the autistic community. Recent discussions have brought various perspectives on the causes and prevalence of autism to the forefront. Our focus remains on providing compassionate, evidence-based support and services. We believe it is essential to view autism in a way that honors and incorporates the lived experiences and perspectives of autistic individuals.
Our dedication is evident in our three branches: Training, School, and Community. The Indiana Resource Center for Autism is committed to enhancing the well-being, self-advocacy, and autonomy of autistic individuals across the spectrum and throughout their lives. Through these branches, we empower individuals and engage systems to create meaningful change. We are driven by our mission to cultivate an inclusive environment where everyone can flourish. Our advocacy for the needs and rights of autistic Hoosiers and their families remains unwavering. Together, let’s continue to build a community that values and uplifts all its members.
