The MCC Foundation is committed to providing quality and appropriate education for children on the autism spectrum. With diagnosis of autism on the rise, quality services are becoming more scarce. Thousands of children and their families in the New York City metro area alone require appropriate education and support services. Join us in our mission to give these young people “a life and an opportunity.”
The MCC Foundation works to enhance, transform, and elevate the opportunities available to children with autism by supporting:
The Manhattan Childrens Center where children with autism receive unparalleled instruction utilizing a holistic approach with one to one tailored teaching.
Research to further develop and improve best practices in the area of autism education, especially transdisciplinary education, which incorporates expertise from a number of disciplines in a holistic approach to realize each child’s potential as an individual.
Training clinical professionals to disseminate the transdisciplinary teaching model to other schools and centers providing services to children and young adults with autism and help establish “centers of excellence” and “beacons of best practices” to improve the overall treatment of autism worldwide.
High Level Academic Partnerships with elite teaching colleges, research institutes for the treatment of autism and other high quality autism schools.
