Center for Spectrum Services Proudly serving individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders and their families throughout the Hudson

Since 1976, Center for Spectrum Services has been improving the lives of people with autism. Since its inception, Spectrum Services has earned a national reputation for excellence in serving people across the autism spectrum. Spectrum Services' day school programs in Kingston and Ellenville serve children between the ages of 2 and 12, while community based pre-school programs focus on children between the ages of 2 and 5. Students from seven counties and more than 30 school districts throughout the Mid-Hudson Valley are at the heart of the Center for Spectrum Services' educational program. The Spectrum Services Outreach Program offers diagnostic evaluations for people of all ages. It provides training for parents and professionals, serves as consultant to schools and agencies as well as social skills groups, and provides counseling for children and adolescents with high-functioning autism and Asperger Syndrome.

Looking for something fun to do on a Sunday afternoon? Well, later this month we invite you to grab some friends and come hang out at Hops for Happiness! Enjoy great music, local brews, food, raffles, and plenty of good company — all at Keegan Ales in Kingston. As you can see from last year's Hops for Happiness, it's a great way to spend an afternoon with your friends.

You don’t have to know anyone at Center for Spectrum Services. You don’t have to be a longtime supporter. Just come ready to have a good time — and you’ll be helping a great local cause while you’re at it.

Sunday, October 25 | 2–6 PM
Keegan Ales, Kingston

So, you bring your friends, we’ll bring the Hops. Tickets are $25, and you get a complimentary b**r and menu item, and for the first 200 to register, an official tee shirt. Tix and info at https://givebutter.com/c/hopsforhaps2026

Great music. Great b**r. Great cause.

We’re thrilled to have Joey Eppard & Friends providing music throughout Hops for Happiness on Sunday, October 25 at Keegan Ales! We know the music is going to contribute to an afternoon of awesomeness.

Joey’s son, Julian, is a former Center for Spectrum Services student, and we’re so grateful that Joey continues to share his incredible talent in support of local children with autism.

Come enjoy the music, the Hops, and the fun — and help us celebrate 50 years of Center for Spectrum Services!

What better way to celebrate the start of our 50th school year than with a ribbon cutting by our friends at the Ulster County Regional Chamber of Commerce! The event took place on Thursday, with our staff on site preparing for the return of our students, who began the new school year today.

As a decades-long Chamber member, we’re proud to be part of a community of local businesses and organizations that, like Center for Spectrum Services, provide the vital products, services, and opportunities that keep our region moving forward.

A special thank-you to the Chamber’s Ambassadors who joined us, our Board of Trustees, and the many staff members who came out to celebrate this milestone with us.

And, of course, the ribbon-cutting honors went to Executive Director Charlotte Mennona and Board President Sam Kandel!

Here’s to 50 years of impact—and many more to come!

While our students and teaching staff are enjoying their summer break, our Finance Team has been making sure the fun continues for those of us on the administrative side who are still holding down the fort! Shelly, our CFO, and her Finance Team have spearheaded a series of theme days, complete with special dress-up days and food.

Today was Western Day! From left to right: Brandi (Finance), Patti (Reception), David (Fundraising/PR), Charlotte (Executive Director), Shelly (CFO), and Lorie (Finance). Yeehaw!

It’s hard to believe, but today was the last day of our Summer Program! Somehow, these weeks have gone by way too quickly.

Our Enrichment Program was nothing short of amazing. Once a week, our Kingston School library transformed into all sorts of wonderful places and experiences — from a remote island filled with pirates and mermaids, to a lush rainforest, to one of everyone’s favorites: Ice Cream Day!

Our Ellenville School found Enrichment Days taking students on adventures with “It’s a Zoo Here,” “We Are the Dinosaurs,” and “Under the Sea.

And on all the days in between, our students enjoyed plenty of fun, outdoor/indoor learning experiences — along with those all-important classroom days when it was simply too hot to venture outside!

Our Summer Program gave students the education and therapies they need, while wrapping them in a more relaxed, playful, summertime experience. We’re so grateful to our incredible staff for making these weeks so much fun — and so meaningful — for our students.

Now it’s time for a two-and-a-half week break for both students and staff. We hope everyone has a wonderful rest of the summer, and we can’t wait to see everyone back in September!
