Family Services
Are you experiencing the unique journey of raising an autistic or neurodivergent child?
You are NOT alone. We’re here to help.

Our team at Anderson Center Consulting and Training offers onsite and online programs designed to give you the tools needed to better manage behavioral concerns, communication difficulties, support social skills and executive function development, build a plan for community integration, and so much more.

We can also provide assistance as you work with your school district to develop an educational plan for your autistic or neurodivergent student. Our team of certified school psychologists can complete your child’s psychological evaluation and social history, and liaise with special education personnel to ensure that needs are being met.

AND…..you can also consider Anderson Center Consulting and Training’s Family Support Services (FSS). This short-term, in-home program helps families build skills that help unlock potential and maximize success.
