Rusty's Morningstar Ranch

Rusty's Morningstar Ranch, Inc. adheres to the belief that since autistic people differ from those whose primary disability is mental retardation in significent ways,they ought to, and indeed have a right to have, programs that are designed to meet their special needs. The severe disorders of communication and behavior that accompany the autistic condition require an intensive, often highly structured program. The ranch setting, we believe, is the best way to provide this, as autistic people seem to function well in this quiet, rural environment. Our mission is to provide the serenity of atmosphere in which meaningful work and strong, caring relationships can be developed while the ranchers learn to get in touch with nature and themselves.
