Southwest Autism Research & Resource Center (SARRC) is an internationally recognized nonprofit organization dedicated to autism research, evidence-based treatment, education, and community outreach. Founded in 1997 by Denise Resnik and collaborators, SARRC provides a comprehensive lifetime of services for individuals with autism spectrum disorder and their families. SARRC delivers Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy across multiple service settings and age groups. Programs include early intervention for infants and young children (6 months and up), an eight-classroom inclusive preschool for children 18 months to 5 years, intensive ABA-based programming for school-age children, community-based life skills and vocational experiences for teens ages 13-18, and employment services for adults. Services are delivered through center-based, home-based, school-based, and community-based modalities. Parent training is a core component of SARRC's approach. Families receive support in building their child's language, social, play, and adaptive skills through everyday routines and interactions. Parent training is available in-person at SARRC's Phoenix campus or remotely for families throughout Arizona, with options tailored to clinical recommendations and funding availability. Headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, SARRC operates five locations across the Valley, including a newer campus in Mesa. The organization employs Board Certified Behavior Analysts and Registered Behavior Technicians and serves over 1,100 clients. SARRC's dual focus on clinical service delivery and cutting-edge autism research distinguishes it among autism service providers.

I became involved with SARRC after someone I love was diagnosed with autism. What this organization has done for that young boy, helping him grow, connect, and thrive, has been nothing short of extraordinary. After meeting with SARRC’s founder and leadership, I saw firsthand how deeply this mission is rooted in love, and how powerfully that love is turned into real, life-changing support for families. SARRC isn’t just a nonprofit. It’s a force for good, changing lives every single day. I’m proud to support their mission as both a participant and a donor.
I found out about SARRCs Community School through a volunteer opportunity at work. After touring the school, we never even bothered visiting a second center. SARRCs Community School has been everything and more we could have hoped for our daughter. Since starting there, she has truly thrived socially and academically in ways we could never have imagined (or provided for her on our own). We love that the program has a 4-to-1 student-teacher ratio and that our daughter has a detailed and individualized learning plan with quarterly report cards showing her progress. We also love that our daughter is learning to be inclusive at a very young age with her peers that are on the autism spectrum. The SARRC Community School has become family over the last two years since our daughter started attending. We are eagerly counting down the days until our youngest daughter turns 15 months and will be able to join her older sister at the Community School because we have truly seen the positive impact it makes!
Brittani Harris has been instrumental in our journey through SARRC’s JumpStart and Second Gear programs. Her unique insights and passion for her job have fundamentally changed how I parent and handle challenging behaviors with my son. Brittani’s ability to assess my son’s unique needs and my learning style, and then tailor her parent training accordingly, has been life-changing for us. Over the past few weeks, I have witnessed a remarkable transformation in my children, who have moved from continual resistance to compliance, volunteering to do chores, improving their grades, and feeling better overall. When I first met Brittani, I cried in her office because I felt my parenting was negatively affecting my son’s self-confidence and self-image. Brittani helped me understand my son’s motivators and how to make small changes in my approach to antecedents and negative behaviors. This has completely transformed my relationship with my son, who is now thriving in ways I never thought possible. I want Brittani to know that her class has made a significant impact, and I am deeply grateful for her dedication and commitment. It is inspiring to see a business like SARRC taking such meaningful steps to create a more inclusive and supportive environment for individuals with autism. SARRC’s parent training courses have changed my life, not only do they offer crucial support, but they also raise awareness and enhance understanding within the wider community.
