Kern County Autism Center's dream is to provide a special place for adults with special needs. Our goal is to develop a full continuum of residential, vocational, recreational, respite, and educational services for adults with autism, regardless of their age or levels of need.
Founded over 25 years ago in Arvin, California, KCAC is founded on the roots of family, love, education, and acceptance.
All individuals have a right to life a fulfilled life.
Everyone deserves a safe and secure living arrangement.
In the opportunity to continue to learn and develop as individuals
In a well balanced blend of freedom, independence, and responsibility.
In the maintenance and development of self-esteem and self-confidence.
