About St. Gerard House

St. Gerard House opened its doors in 2010 with a mission to help individuals with autism and their families experience more joy and achieve meaningful life outcomes by providing evidence-based therapies, innovative programs and continuous advocacy.

The autism rate continues to rise steadily - now 1 in 36 children are on the spectrum. As demand for services outpaced capacity, SGH maintained its dedication to quality autism care and expanded programming to include opportunities for older children, teens, and young adults. As a leader in the Autism field, SGH is the only non-profit, comprehensive Autism center in WNC offering a continuum of care from diagnosis through adulthood.

St. Gerard House uses Applied Behavior Analysis therapy (ABA) as the backbone of all our programming. ABA is the gold standard for autism treatment and has the most empirical research of its efficacy. SGH continually produces outcomes that match national statistics of autism interventions. SGH’s approach includes 1:1 client/therapist ratios, small group learning, assessments, parent training, year-round services, and an atmosphere of joy and belonging. Children, teens, and young adults gain skills necessary to increase self-sufficiency and participate in the community in a meaningful way. We are dedicated to providing the necessary resources and services for the whole family to thrive with a diagnosis of autism.
