History Of The NEEDS Center
Founded in 2012, The NEEDS Center’s mission is to provide education, training and support to individuals with developmental disabilities to assist them to live as independently as possible.
Our Philosophy
The NEEDS Center’s philosophy is rooted in the tenets of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), and Positive Behavior Support (PBS). These supports allow individuals to become as independent as they can be.
