About Us - A Committed Team
The Coryell Autism Center strives to prepare young people with autism to lead meaningful, productive, and independent adult lives through specially-designed school, home and community-based services.

The Center is a private, nonprofit corporation dedicated to providing specially-designed services to young people with autism ages 16 to 22. Developed to bridge the critical gap between education entitlements and adult services, the Center is named in recognition of the Coryell Family Foundation's ongoing support of individuals with autism in the San Francisco Bay Area. The Center derives financial support from a combination of individual service contracts with fee-for-service programs, and fundraising efforts.

The center, in collaboration with other agencies, provided services that include functional academics, volunteer and work training, recreational and leisure activities, and daily living skills instruction.
