The Matthew Reardon Center for Autism (MRCA) is dedicated to improving the lives of children and families affected by autism spectrum disorder. Since 2000, we have been constructing pathways to engaged and productive lives for children with autism using proven, evidence-based practices. We’ve accomplished this through our accredited year-round day school, family advocacy and community education.

Demand for our educational support services has increased dramatically in the past few years, with the result that MRCA will increase enrollment capacity when we move to larger facilities within the next few months and will also establish an inclusion preschool for children with autism. This is an exciting time to be part of the MRCA family, which includes our growing staff. If you enjoy the sounds of children learning and appreciate being part of a team of experts who work collaboratively to make a difference in the lives of children, MRCA may be the place for you.
