Our newest Autism Treatment Center, located in Plano, TX, will be hosting a Grand Opening Celebration on Sunday, December 4th! This event, which is open to the public, will offer activities, snacks, and fun for the whole family. We are even going to have an appearance from everyone’s favorite Christmas celebrity, Santa Claus!
