Coming together to support a growing community!
The Marin Autism Collaborative (MAC) grew out of a county wide effort, facilitated by Lifehouse, to identify the current services in Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) in Marin County and the current gaps in services to families, professionals and consumers with ASD.
MAC is comprised of a wide variety of providers, agencies, organizations and families giving their time to ensure that families, professionals and consumers in Marin County affected by ASD receive the very best services throughout life. The collaborative is a representation of the key players in the county including but not limited to: parents, Golden Gate Regional Center, Marin County Office of Education, Marin SELPA, Area Board 5, Matrix Parent Network, Lifehouse, United Cerebral Palsy of the North Bay, Easter Seals, The Cedars of Marin, Opportunity for Independence, Autistry Studios, non-public private schools, residential and adult day centers and consultants.
MAC continues to meet monthly and has established an organizational structure that hopes to ensure an on going process of looking at the gaps in services and helping to find solutions.
