Southwest Autism Research And Resource Center

Clinical services: following a family-centered approach, sarrc is focused on assisting families on their journey once a child is diagnosed with asd. Sarrc's clinical model is grounded in applied behavior analysis with a particular focus on naturalistic behavioral interventions in inclusive environments (e.g. At home, in school, on the job and in the community). Each of our programs, classes and trainings are guided by best-practice models; the most currently available science; improving quality of life and producing meaningful outcomes; and the individualized needs of the children, adolescents, adults and families we serve.

Residential transition academy: the first place az transition academy operated by the center, is a two-year intensive and comprehensive community based state-of-the-art program designed to transition young adults with autism to living independently in the community. Through a partnership with first place az and the center, students live in their own apartments within a multi-generational apartment complex.
