Serving Military Families
The Southeast Regional Autism Center in Columbus, Georgia, offers support to military families stationed at Fort Benning and other bases across the Southeast who are seeking access to autism services.
As one of the nation’s largest employers of BCABAs and BCBAs, we are committed to making our services accessible to military families who have children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Therefore, we are pleased to announce the opening of a second Southeast Regional Autism Center in North Carolina. In September, 2009, May Institute began offering services to families at Camp Lejeune and surrounding areas in North Carolina.
All May Institute services are based on applied behavior analysis (ABA), the only treatment reimbursed by TRICARE’s ECHO program and the Autism Demonstration Project for military families with children with ASD.
“As many as 12,000 children in military families may have autism and their condition is made extremely difficult by the frequent changes of residences, schools, and other variables that accompany military life.”
