Kids suffering from autism will soon get treatment at the Scott Center for Autism
when it opens at Florida Institute of Technology. Applied behavior analysis or psychology students will be trained at the center to provide the highest
quality treatment to the disabled kids in Central Florida. Students from other majors can also join to provide behavioral analytical services to the children with autism.

The Scott Center is a learning institution for graduate and undergraduate students
majoring in applied behavior analysis or psychology. It will provide empirically supported behavioral and allied health care diagnoses, assessments and treatments for children and their families.

Children ages 1 to 8 years will get early intensive behavior analytic intervention from the center. Services for children beyond this age range may be provided
on a case-by-case basis. The center will also extend its services to older children with autism in near future. FIT’s School of Psychology also conducts free monthly
workshops to educate parents about how to deal with kids with autism disorders. The workshop is held on the last Wednesday of each month. will be held in September.
