The Price Center
About
The Price Center is a Newton nonprofit that helps individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, including autism, thrive in living, social and work communities. It serves more than 200 people through day and residential programs, with services tailored to each individual. Programs include community-based day services, employment support, day habilitation and community living support, all aimed at building independence, self-confidence and self-advocacy skills.
Community Day programs promote social inclusion through volunteer or paid work, recreation and activities. Day Habilitation is a medically based program offering individualized clinical services, therapies, behavioral supports and adaptive technology to build communication, social and daily living skills. The Chuck Flynn Employment Program provides skills assessment, job training and placement, and the Kindness Café gives adults hands-on barista training. CEO Abigail Parrilla leads the organization, which is growing toward a $20 million operation by 2028.
