We at Alternatives for People with Autism, Inc. will continue to strive to give the best possible care to those afflicted with Autism. We will continue to provide opportunities, programming uniquely suited for each individual based on current research, and the best care for all of the clients.

That being said, we believe that the strength of Alternatives lies in operating with corporate responsibility, without compromise, with the human ideals that underpin our motivation for existence. Though committed as advocates to radical change, our strategy is not radical in that we seek to use existing mechanisms, both governmental and private, to accomplish our goals. We intend to remain strong because the work thus far accomplished is very little of that which must yet be done.

Our future plans are, at the level of detail, as uncertain as the system of services for people with developmental disabilities. There will remain, however, the basic invariants of social and human principle to which we have become irrevocably committed. Our era has potential for dignity for all people. We have shown that it need not, as in the past, offer people who are severely disabled by autism only the opportunity to miserable and abbreviated lives.

In this continuing effort, our voices have joined the great chorus of collective humanity in the ancient and most vital of human struggles.
