CCC Expansion Increases Autism Inclusion and Accessibility in North County San Diego

ccc-nocounty-intro

The Community Coaching Center (CCC), a non profit that offers community-based, social behavior development and inclusion programs for children and teens with autism will open a second facility this coming Monday, August 30.

This expansion will serve North County families, offering daily activities and promoting natural social development, independence and community integration for children with autism. Last year, NFAR funding provided CCC with essential contributions to support the new facility, including computer equipment for both staff and participants, as well as the training of CCC North’s new staff in evidence-based autism treatment practices and experience-based learning.

CCC North currently has openings available for children with autism ages 6-17 and will also be hosting an Open House Ceremony this fall for all community members interested in learning more.
