The program was opened in 1991 as a public, private and University collaboration. Our aim has always focused on producing and using knowledge, strategies, and tools to improve the quality of life of each person served, and to increase the capacity for support within local communities across Georgia.
In doing so, we have become a national model providing clinical, educational and medical supports to individuals with autism (ages 15 months through adulthood); providing instructive guidance to their family members; providing training to educators and professionals interested in learning how to better support children and adults with ASD; and providing engaging learning experiences to those in the community who wish to simply create an inclusive society where one's strengths are valued.
To be a valued resource for people with ASD, their families, professionals, and others from the earliest signs of ASD throughout the lifespan by providing affordable, accessible, evidence-based, and useful services and information to each person we serve, and by increasing capacity for support within local communities across Georgia.
