The mission of Children Achieving Maximum Potential, Inc. is to provide individuals with autism and related disorders comprehensive science-based treatments through intensive individualized instruction.
Our goal is for individuals with autism to learn to communicate effectively, become increasingly independent, interact appropriately with others in the community and their home, enjoy their learning experiences, and to be treated with respect, courtesy and dignity.
Like our name states, we believe that children with autism can achieve their maximum potential with implementation of individualized research-based interventions. We believe the best route to effective treatment begins with educating the family and those closest to the child.
