About TCAP

The Treasure Coast Autism Project (TCAP) is a non-profit private school, created by a dedicated group of parents and professionals, whose mission is to improve the lives of children living with autism on the Treasure Coast by providing educational opportunities which are suitable to each child’s unique academic, therapeutic, and social needs. In collaboration with Community Christian Academy (CCA), TCAP opened its first model-classroom in August of 2011 on the campus of CCA in Stuart, Florida. Our goal is to set a new standard in educational environments for students with a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder by combining highly motivating instruction with evidence-based interventions in a safe and sensory-friendly environment.
