Judevine Center For Autism's Festival of Trees Gala

The Judevine Center is a child and family-oriented organization and a pioneer in the treatment, training, and research of autism. Its successful program has been used worldwide. Founded in 1971 by Lois J. Blackwell, the Judevine® Center today is a major state and national resource that has touched the lives of thousands of children and adults with autism and their families.

The Center's program is based on the principles of social exchange and rooted in the application of behavior analysis to the learning difficulties of the child, combined with a unique thinking set. The thinking set is the framework for approaching problems. Children with autism are children first, not just "skin-bounded bundles of behavior." We do not deal with a "behavior" but a child who has performed some behavior. Our focus is the whole child, not just the problem behavior. Two important fundamental requirements for teaching children with autism are: TO KNOW THE CHILD and TO KNOW AUTISM.
