April is Autism Awareness Month.  To lean more about autism and the Meredith Autism Program, known as MAP, please visit their website by clicking here.

The Meredith College Autism Program (MAP) provides full time treatment services for children with autism.  MAP is a specialized early intervention, teaching and behavior modification program for young children with autism and their families.  The Meredith Autism Program started as part of research originally funded by the National Institute of Mental Health.

The mission of the Meredith Autism Program is to provide a behavioral intervention in which children with autism can develop to their fullest potential, provide experience and education in the field of autism to undergraduate students, while validating and expanding the current research.
