'We need to take the programs and treatments happening here and we need to make them worldwide.' This non-traditional program is changing the way children with autism are treated:
After weeks of rehearsals, Tommy Abelson took to the stage for his big night, something no one ever thought would be possible because of his disabilities.
The center was founded in 1948 as a way for parents of children with physically challenges to meet and discuss how to best treat them. Now, the center serves as a place for young people with autism and other complex conditions like Tommy's to be treated, utilizing the very latest research. There are plans for a hospital to be built on the campus to help families diagnose and treat autism and other complex disorders.
Some members of the center live on its beautiful campus set in the rolling hills of the southern Catskill Mountains in New York and in group homes in nearby Hurleyville. The center grows all of its food organically on its campus farm and sells some of it commercially, another unique way that it works to treat children with autism.
