PACT's main goal is to act as an information clearinghouse and resource center for families dealing with Autism Spectrum Disorders by providing information on legal rights, educational programs and treatment options.  PACT also sponsors many social activities for the entire family throughout the year.

PACT members are active in many political, advocacy, and state organizations such as the Division of Developmental Disabilities (DDD) Constituency Committee, Center for Outreach Services for the Autistic Community (COSAC), the ARC of Burlington County, the Statewide Regional Family Support Council,  the County Regional Family Support Council of Burlington, Camden, and Gloucester counties, and other groups involved in supporting legislation such as the Family Leave Act of 1993.  

PACT directly supports families in New Jersey counties of Burlington, Camden, and Gloucester (but membership is not restricted to these counties).  PACT was founded in November of 1991 and became the South West New Jersey ASA  Chapter #532 (Autism Society of America) in June of 1992.  PACT does not collect membership dues (Join PACT) and provides a number of  Member Services .  These services are funded by various fundraisers and United Way charity contributions.  Some member services are available only for local members.  Want a little more detailed history of PACT?  Click on <PACT HISTORY>

The information provided by PACT is for informational purposes and is not  an endorsement or recommendation for treatment, diagnosis's or services.  Individuals with an autism spectrum disorder are unique and all options must be explored by the family, professionals and that individual.
