Join us for a tour of our campus and meet the center's staff. To schedule a visit contact us at 831-713-5186 or email: lhyde@coryellautismcenter.org. Alternative dates to those below may be scheduled if necessary.

Our first visitor day on July 28th was a huge success! It was exciting to be able to show off our campus and to interact with the community and prospective parents. Balance4Kids founder Vicky George commented that "the depth of instruction that you offer impressed me the most". We also heard from parent Barbara Engler, who said " You all have created a beautiful learning environment for teaching older children/young adults on how to be as independent in the community as possible."

Come visit our center to see your own reaction.
