The Highlands Center for Autism, affiliated with the Highlands Regional Medical Center, will be the first school in the state to offer intensive ABA therapy for children with autism. The goal of the school is to help transition children with autism into the regular classroom using interventions that include speech, education, and one-on-one training. Shelli Deskins, school director and psychologist, is thrilled to offer the services, and said that no child would be turned away based on behavioral problems.
