MUNSTERÂ â An Illinois therapy and developmental center for children diagnosed with autism is opening a location in Northwest Indiana next month.
Cara Wilson and CaâShawn Morris co-founded Howard Intervention Center in Matteson, Illinois, three years ago and plan to open a center practicing Applied Behavior Analysis in the Region in February.
Wilson, a speech therapist and educator for more than 20 years, was inspired to start the business by what she saw as a lack of results-driven services for the whole family after her son Alonzo missed developmental milestones and displayed autistic tendencies.
âI have spent my entire career working with children who have various challenges, so I am very familiar with what works and what doesnât, on both the developmental and interpersonal sides, she said. With HIC, we set out to correct those. And let me tell you, there is no greater motivator than the love of vulnerable children, especially your own.
PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) Thousands of people have signed an online petition urging Pennsylvania to change a new policy which will affect families of children with autism, which goes into effect on January 17. I m trying to figure out what next week is going to be like, Lauren Baldwin of Levittown said.
Baldwin explained her 4-year-old son Ryan has flourished since he started at Potential in Newtown, a non-profit that treats autism.
But starting Sunday, Ryan is among thousands of children in Pennsylvania whose families fear that federal Medical Assistance will no longer pay for their one-to-one center based Applied Behavior Analysis services due to a new state policy.

New center to offer behavior therapy for the local community Posted Monday, January 11, 2021
Dordt University has launched the Thrive Center for Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), which will serve the Northwest Iowa region in the areas of behavior therapy and skills acquisition for children and adults. The Thrive Center for ABA will utilize Applied Behavior Analysis, a research-based intervention strategy shown to positively impact programming in school, homes, and the community for those with autism. The center will offer services for children ages two through six, with plans to expand and serve older children and adults in the future.
Students with Autism will get more support in school thanks to a $7.5-million investment from the province.
The Ministry of Education is funding a new training program for teachers and educational assistants in all district school boards across the province.
“We recognize the difficulty this pandemic has imposed on parents. That is why we are enhancing this investment to further train our education staff to better support students on the autism spectrum and to foster a culture of respect, inclusion and opportunity in our schools,” says Education Minister Stephen Lecce.
The training program will start later this year and be delivered by the Geneva Centre for Autism. The province says it will give educators a better understanding of Autism Spectrum Disorder and Applied Behavioural Analysis methods.
