30 years ago, 1 in 10,000 children were affected by Autism; that number has risen to 1 in 150 children born today. In response to the growing need for quality services, Judson Center has created a state-of-the-art center for children, teenagers and young adults with autism.
Judson Center's Hope Begins Here Campaign, is a $1.2 million capital campaign that will support the new brick and mortar facility and the purchase of its furnishings and equipment is currently underway. With additional funding from the community, Judson Center will offer continued enhanced services to those with autism and their families in the new Autism Center.

-
Varied-material textures to heighten sensory perception
-
Individual rooms offering specialized therapies
-
A children's play area
-
A fully accessible kitchen and dining area
