The mission of Jay Nolan Community Services, Inc. ( JNCS ) is to enable individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder and other Developmental Disabilities to live fulfilling lives as members of the community by providing support services customized to their individual needs. Jay Nolan Community Services, Inc. a nonprofit 501 ( c ) ( 3 ) organization, was established in 1975 by members of the Autism Society of Los Angeles and initially provided care for people with autism and other disabilities in group settings. In 1992, JNCS changed its philosophy and the way it was delivering services. We closed our group homes and began providing individualized support to people to enable them to live in their own homes, have jobs, and participate in other valued community activities. Today Jay Nolan Community Services is the leading provider of personalized support services in California, with most of its clients concentrated in Southern California, particularly Los Angeles, Santa Clara and surrounding counties. We are nationally recognized for offering high-quality individualized care and planning guided by the needs and wishes of the person receiving services and his or her circle of support. Jay Nolan Community Services philosophy grows out of the belief that - with the right kinds of support and assistance - individuals with disabilities can and should pursue their hopes and dreams and live their lives to the fullest potential as active members of their communities. For hundreds of citizens with autism and other developmental disabilities and their families, JNCS is the solution to what can seem to be insurmountable problems.
