🛝 We talked to a parent + employee in Glenwood's Children's Center about why it's such a special place. Here's what we learned! ❤️ #NowPartner #GlenwoodChildrenCenter #BirminghamAL #CM #bhamnow

The Glenwood B.R.I.D.G.E. (Building Relationships In Diverse Groups Everyday) Committee is excited to present its first employee engagement and appreciation event: Red, White and You! In honor of all the wonderful work our staff provides, we asked them to turn Glenwood Red, White and You on August 30th What a successful event and celebration of our employees! 

Opening in 2018, Glenwood recognized the immense need for a Children’s Center in the Birmingham area. “The evidence is overwhelming that the earlier you can intervene in the life of a child with autism, the more positive impact you’ll have,” Ken Oliver, CEO/President of Glenwood says. “So, we opened the Mallie Ireland Children’s Center, where children with autism ages 2 to 6 receive an intense level of early intervention. Board certified behavior analysts and registered behavior technicians provide 35 hours of one-on-one services, in conjunction with speech and occupational therapists, to the children each week in an effort to prepare them for public school. All of the children who have graduated have successfully transitioned into public school. It’s a fantastic program,” said Oliver. Glenwood’s Mallie M. Ireland Children’s Center on the Avondale Campus provides Applied Behavior Analysis and other intensive therapy services. ABA is an evidence-based therapy that focuses on the principles and techniques of learning theory to help improve social behavior. ABA therapy helps to develop new skills, shape, and refine previously learned skills, and decrease socially significant problem behaviors. Speech and occupational therapy are also integrated into the daily programs for the children.
