Rich Center for Autism

The Paula and Anthony Rich Center for the Study and Treatment of Autism is an externally funded unit of Youngstown State University.

The primary mission of The Rich Center for Autism is to improve the lives of individuals with autism through innovative educational programs that allow them to reach their full potential and improve their quality of life. The Rich Center for Autism focuses on increasing skills in communication, socialization, academics and daily living by incorporating basic principles of ABA across the student’s school day.

The Rich Center for Autism serves as a conduit between the University, educators, health and human service professionals. Children are enrolled in their programs regardless of the ability to pay. Referral, treatment, and support are provided at no cost to families.

Speech and Occupational Therapies are services offered at the Rich Center in the Kids Choice Pediatric Rehab & Therapy Center.
