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.

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).
The Hawai‘i Adaptive Paddling Association is a non-profit organization that
involves physically, mentally and emotionally challenged individuals in the
sport of Hawaiian outrigger canoe paddling.
The primary work of the Hawai‘i Adaptive Paddling Association supports a
monthly recreational program, which allows participants the opportunity to
experience a day at the beach in a safe, controlled and fun environment. Our
trained volunteers provide a nurturing experience so that our participants can
reap the benefits of the canoe and ocean. With an emphasis on safety,
volunteers guide our participants through basic paddling skills so they can
feel a part of the overall experience. Many of our paddlers volunteered and
trained for years with the Project Pure Light program, and have been
instrumental in developing and training new programs that have benefited
neighbor island participants and visitors from the mainland.
Hawai‘i Adaptive Paddling Association also supports a successful
competitive racing team comprised of world class athletes. The team has
participated in international competitions, and their efforts shine a spotlight
on adaptive paddling and what can be achieved.

community of Maui, and the non-profit, Autism Bridges Maui was born.

supports a wide array of services that develop the full potential and improve the quality
of life for individuals with autism, pervasive developmental disorders, and neurological
developmental disorders through their life span
