The Carrie Brazer Center for Autism specializes in the care and treatment of children on the autism spectrum. Our instruction program is a highly structured, consistent, and behavior-based. We are committed to long term growth for our students and we focus on new skills and behaviors that include community based outings. Programs at the center are available year-round, Monday through Saturday, after school, teacher work days and holidays and during winter, spring and summer breaks.

For the past 10 years we are honored to have helped change the lives of over 250 children. Our new early childhood center and elementary school, located in the Kendall area, behind Baptist Hospital, provides care for children starting at age 18 months. We have also recently instituted a “Vocational Skills” program for adults ages 18 and over.

Our incredible staff works collaboratively to develop individualized programs for each child. However, not all families of children with disabilities are able to afford the special care and therapies needed. Our annual fundraiser, Comedy for the Kids, provides scholarships so that no child is turned away from the Carrie Brazer Center for Autism school or denied needed speech, occupational, cognitive, behavioral and physical therapies.

Thank you for your support; our children's lives depend on it.
