Centerstone is about to unveil a new program for children.
The therapy will target 2-5 year olds with Autism Spectrum Disorder. It's called Centerstone Autism Services: Think, Learn, Explore - or CASTLE.
Board Certified Behavior Analyst Marty Price will lead the program.
"We hope to bring a very eclectic approach in a way that we hope will be kind of unique and special to CASTLE."
Price says working with kids in preschool is critical because everything is new to them.
"It's that time where you learn how to speak to people. You learn how to interact with people. You learn socialization skills and even our basic daily living skills often start as children."
Price says families in Jackson, Williamson and Franklin Counties can sign their children up for the program during an open house on Friday, March 22 from 4-6 p.m. at CASTLE's, home, which will be 402 East Plaza, Suite 5 in Carterville.
CASTLE will begin seeing clients on Monday, March 25. For more information, call (618) 319-6060.
