Baylor Autism Resource Clinic

The BARC has an Autism Resource Directory that is a resource for parents, educators, and organizations seeking information about community services for children and adults with Autism Spectrum Disorders within the Central Texas Region.

Asperger's Syndrome College Support Group: The BARC, in conjunction with the Baylor Office of Access and Learning Accommodation (OALA), provides a support group for college students with Asperger’s Syndrome. The group is open to MCC, TSTC, and Baylor students. They meet weekly to discuss the academic and social issues they face as a student with a disability and work on developing strategies to improve their social and communication skills. 

The Baylor Autism Resource Clinic (BARC) serves Waco and the surrounding community. The BARC opened in January of 2008, thanks to a grant from the Waco Foundation and support from Baylor University. Dr. Julie Ivey-Hatz, Associate Professor in the School of Education’s Department of Educational Psychology, is founder of the clinic.

BARC is part of the Baylor Center for Developmental Disabilities in the Behavioral and Educational Services Division. Kristen Padilla-Mainor, director of the BCDD, also coordinates the programs of BARC.
