Mission: Crossroads center for children is an integrated school for children diagnosed with autism spectrum and related disorders. MISSION: To prepare individuals with and without developmental disabilities for life success within their family and community. PHILOSOPHY: Crossroads Center for Children utilizes interventions from the field of applied behavior analysis (ABA), a branch of psychology and education with a foundation based on scientific analysis of human behavior and learning.
Results: We've been educating children since 1998, with excellent success. Using only research-based treatment methods, we are able to help each and every child make gains forward, many for the very first time in their lives. On our website, we continually share stories of current students and the progress they make against all odds. We rely on the kind generosity of our incredible community to carry out our work here at Crossroads. https://secure.qgiv.com/for/crocenfochi/
