Following its destruction in the 2011 Joplin tornado, the Bill and Virginia Leffen Center for Autism now has a permanent place to call home. The new facility offers innovative, state-of-the-art treatment for children on the autism spectrum, which include those children who experience difficulty processing sensory information. Design features of the facility include brightness controlled lighting, soft-covered walls that absorb sound, and movable walls that allow for both small group and one-on-one interaction between students and teachers. The Center’s multipurpose room doubles as a safe room for students and staff in the event of inclement weather.
