The Els Center of Excellence is in Jupiter. The campus is on track to be a game-changing resource in the field of autism and a leading example of what can be available to individuals on the spectrum. Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a developmental disability that is caused by differences in how the brain functions. People with ASD may communicate, interact, behave, and learn in diverse ways. Signs of ASD begin during early childhood and usually last throughout a person’s life.

Research has demonstrated that early intervention can improve social, cognitive, language, and academic outcomes for children with an autism spectrum disorder. The Els Center of Excellence is a world-class, 26-acre campus that is home to three separate nonprofit organizations: 

The Els for Autism Foundation - a place for autism resources, guidance, and information.

The Learning Center - a tuition-free, nonprofit, Palm Beach County public charter school serving students ages 3 – 14.

The Learning Academy – is a tuition-free, nonprofit, Palm Beach County public charter school serving students ages 14 – 21.

As a nonprofit organization, Els for Autism relies on charitable financial support. There are ways that you can give to ensure that people with autism continue to receive the support they need to live productive, fulfilling lives, including naming opportunities, planning to give, the Memorial Scholarship Fund, or donating an item via the Amazon Wish List!
