About Us
Welcome Visitor!
The Brown Center for Autism is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization serving children ages 18 months through five years who have an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
Our Vision is to become the model for a family-centered and integrative team approach to intensive early intervention for young children with Autism Spectrum Disorders. Through successful replication of this model, our hope is that someday all children with autism will have the opportunity to realize their highest potential.
Our Mission is to deliver an innovative, comprehensive, therapeutic experience to young children impacted by Autism Spectrum Disorders, by providing fully integrated and coordinated services in a truly caring environment, and by educating parents, professionals, and other individuals who play meaningful roles in the lives of young children with autism.
The Brown Center for Autism is dedicated to the following Values:
The belief that a child's entire family is impacted by a diagnosis of autism
The commitment to act responsibly upon this belief
The belief that parental education is vital to each child's success
The responsibility to teach parents strategies in terms they can understand and practically implement
The commitment to ensure that our professionals work as a seamless and synergistic team to deliver maximally effective and affordable autism treatment to our youth of Middle Tennessee
what people are saying
"Rather than be inhibited by the lack of available services when their young son was diagnosed with autism, Juli and Gordon designed a structured curriculum incorporating direct instruction and best practices. The resulting changes have been amazing. Ben was transformed from a child who was out of control to an exceptional accelerated learner."
