(PAC), Contact Information: 670 Auahi Street, Suite A-6 Honolulu, HI 96813 (808) 523-8188 (Main Phone) Laura Cook, CEO and President Fax: (808) 523-1687 E-Mail address: [email protected] Pacific Autism Center Inc. (PAC), based in Honolulu, Hawaii, formally opened in November 2004. In September, 2006, we opened our first international center in Tokyo, Japan. We provide an array of services within our centers and the homes of our clients both in Hawaii and in Asia. We have an experienced team that has been providing intensive educational and therapeutic support services over many years in the autism community both in Hawaii and in other areas throughout the US. We work primarily with parents privately who seek a high quality alternative to placement and programs they are offered within their home schools. Pacific Autism Center currently has a contract with the Department of Health and can offer services to children up to 3 years of age through this contract. Pacific Autism Center is an assembly of quality providers who share the same vision of creating a center that specializes in autism. We believe in providing a facility that offers the ability to implement high quality ABA services with superior supervision. 10 HAPA has relocated to a new area at Kailua Beach Park due to extensive sand erosion and for the safety and convenience of our participants. We will be on the Kailua side of the canal in front of the concession stand. Parking is available in the lot behind Kalapawai Market (access from Kailua Road, the street adjacent to Kalapawai).
