Autism Center of North Mississippi

The Autism Institute of South Carolina, located in Columbia, SC, is dedicated to promoting successful outcomes for children with autism and related developmental challenges. Serving families with children who have diverse needs, including language-based learning disabilities and those who are twice-exceptional, the institute emphasizes a family-focused approach that recognizes the importance of early intervention. Through evidence-based individualized instruction and behavioral support, the school employs Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) methodologies tailored to each child's unique circumstances. This includes addressing barriers to learning through natural interactions such as imaginative play, family outings, and daily routines. The interventions are designed to foster socially significant behavior change, encouraging communication and social engagement while teaching essential life skills in real-world contexts. What sets the Autism Institute apart is its commitment to low student-teacher ratios and strong partnerships with families, ensuring that parents are actively involved in their child's development. This holistic approach not only enhances learning experiences but also empowers children to build meaningful relationships and navigate their environments with confidence.

ABA Connect operates an Olive Branch clinic at 11109 Highway 178, Suites 1 and 2. The DeSoto County site is the organization's Mississippi therapy location. Services include early-intervention ABA, individualized therapy, social skills training, and parent training. Hours are Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The practice is a small ABA therapy business serving autistic individuals and people with other developmental needs.
