Professional Child Development Associates

Professional Child Development Associates (PCDA) is a nonprofit that provides relationship-based services to young people with Autism and developmental disabilities and their families. We believe that relationships lie at the heart of a young person's development- the relationship with oneself, the relationships among families, and the relationships between behaviors and experiences. That's why we emphasize and amplify those relationships and connections every day for young people with developmental differences, Autism, and other medical or genetic disorders that create everyday challenges. The proven services of PCDA are essential to the lives of our clients and their families as they navigate a world that is not always understanding or inclusive of them. PCDA's mission is to create a community that builds on strengths and relationships to prepare young people with Autism and developmental disabilities for a future in which they are empowered, fulfilled, and feel the security of belonging.
