Meet our Board
 "Meet our Board")
The Board of Directors of any non-profit is charged with a major responsibility of overseeing the direction and development of that organization as it strives to meet the needs of the community. The success of a non-profit is tied to the sound leadership of its Board. At The Brown Center for Autism, we are blessed to have a strong and diverse Board of Directors with representatives of both the professionals who serve families of children with autism, as well as the population we serve. Our Board brings a wealth of knowledge, expertise, and dedication to the planning and oversight of our programming and organization. We express our deepest gratitude for the generosity and service of each of our Board members.

what people are saying
"The Brown Center provides a great service to children on the spectrum, targeting behaviors but also all areas of development. The fact that these children receive therapy (Speech, OT, behavior, optional Music therapy) DAILY in the "just-right" amount of doses, is incredible. The facility is monitored by cameras so parents have constant feedback, and the Brown center also educates the family members through trainings. I have witnessed first-hand the success of children through their program and commend them all!"
