ARC(S)'s Mission
To help individuals on the autism spectrum maximise their potential in life through advocacy and provision of services in education, employment and empowerment of family caregivers / professionals.
The establishment of ARC(S) was a response to the growing concern that the needs of this diverse population of individuals on the spectrum go beyond existing provision.
ARC(S) adopts a co-ordinated, multi-pronged approach to serving individuals on the autism spectrum through awareness, advocacy and empowerment.

Highlight the needs of individuals on the autism spectrum and to increase understanding of the condition.
- ADVOCACY
Advocate for a wide range of services that will enable individuals on the autism spectrum to maximize their potential.
- EMPOWERMENT

To ensure individuals on the autism spectrum realise their maximum potential with the support of their caregivers and professional team, ARC(S) provides a wide range of core services: Early Intervention, Pathlight School, Autism Training, Student Enrichment, Employability & Employment Centre, Library and Information Services.
