Centerstone Launching Program for Children Diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder
Centerstone, a not-for-profit mental health and substance abuse treatment organization, is launching an intensive, evidence-based therapy program in Carterville, Illinois, for children ages 2-5 who have been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. The program, to be known as Centerstone Autism Services: Think! Learn! Explore! (CASTLE) will open its doors beginning Monday, accepting private pay and commercial insurance clients.
CASTLE will work with children in developing language and social skills, completing daily living skills, learning academic skills and decreasing challenging behaviors, such as aggression and non-compliance. Services will be in-clinic through a one-on-one format with therapists or behavioral analysts. The Centerstone service model also includes support for parents and caregivers.
