About Our Center

The Quad Cities Autism Center (QCAC) was founded in October of 2005. We are a 501 (C)3 non-profit organization that delivers direct instruction and natural environment teaching to children affected by Autism.  In August 2006 our teaching center was established to provide parents, teachers and care givers with effective strategies for teaching in  school and home settings.

Currently QCAC assists children diagnosed with Autism and other developmental disabilities by developing an individual behavior plan delivered via one to one instruction. After evaluating individual skill development our program delivers the Assessment of Basic Language and Learning Skills (ABLLS) curriculum. Teaching methods are drawn from the science of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), based on the lines of research of B.F. Skinner.   

The Quad Cities Autism Center exists to provide education, guidance and resources to parents and children affected by Autism and to offer one to one instruction to develop and enhance the lives of our children by giving them New Hope and a brighter future.
