Swiss Resource
Center among most comprehensive source of information
about autism and related conditions
Housed on
the campus of Chileda, the Swiss Resource Center is recognized as
one of the most extensive and complete collections of reference
materials related to autism, seizure disorders and related topics.
Books, magazines, videotapes and other audio-visual materials may
be checked out free of charge or for a modest deposit to those who
seek to further their knowledge about developmental disabilities.
The Swiss Resource Center was founded by Chuck and Leah Mathy in memory of Leah's parents, Ida S. and William Frohman Kupferschmid. Truly believing in its dreams for all children, the Mathys have taken the concept and the children of Chileda into their hearts.
