A home in Mesa has received special certification as a “Certified Autism Center,” meaning employees are highly trained to welcome and embrace children and families affected by Autism Spectrum Disorder.

This residence marks the first of its kind destination in the country, and First Place Arizona is certainly a good place to be. Residents at this home love spending time with others, playing games and pursuing their personal interests.

First Place, founded by Denise Resick, is a new and innovative residential apartment community for people with autism. She wanted to give people with autism and other diversities a place where they could belong and feel safe and secure.
