Chipola Area Autism Resource Center, Inc.

Chipola Area Autism Resource Center, Inc. CAARC is a local 501c3 tax-exempt non-profit charity founded to increase autism related educational/recreational resources in our rural community.

We are a not-for-profit autism resource center founded by parents and grandparents of children affected by Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). We began meeting as the Jackson County Autism Support Group in 2010. We soon realized that there were many more services needed in our rural community and began organizing Chipola Area Autism Resource Center, Inc. to begin to address some of these needs.

This organization is a vendor with Voc Rehab as I understand it. So as things get finalized and training is scheduled you will want to reach out to your Voc Rehab Counselor to ensure this service is included in their plan. I will be checking into the process for my own children and will share what I learn along the way!
