The Judevine autism method is a parent-centered approach for families with children who have autism, asperger syndrome, autistic characteristics or PDD (pervasive developmental disorder). The Judevine Center, which
was founded in 1970, is a non-profit agency based in St. Louis, Missouri. In 1999, a Georgia parent group called GRASP (Georgia Regional Autism Support Projects) started 2 replica Judevine training programs in
Augusta and Albany, Georgia.
Services offered at Albany ARC:
- 3- week Judevine Autism Summer Training available to a maximum of 4 families
for 3 weeks in Albany, GA.
The 3- week training is an intensive, competency- based instructional program designed to assist parents in understanding their child’s behavior, communication and other issues. Also, the parents and children with autism learn an array of skills that can be used to work with these issues.
