Autism Resource Center of Kokomo

Welcome to ARCK

Our Center is committed to providing education, advocacy, and support to families dealing with autism spectrum disorders. In raising public awareness, we are dedicated to connecting families with professionals to help those on the autism spectrum receive the services required to improve their quality of life.

Our Goals

-Develop a strong network of parents supporting one another through the challenges of daily life.

- Lead community activities to improve community awareness of autism and safety for those on the autism spectrum.

- Serve as a clearinghouse for accurate ASD information and provide referrals to appropriate community.
