Shout out to our incredible ABA Clinic Director, Carolyn Johnston, for being recognized in the Memphis Business Journal this morning!!

Carolyn has stepped into her role with confidence and unwavering dedication. Her leadership has been instrumental in allowing ACT to expand and focus on growing our private school, strengthening our psychological testing services, and creating meaningful summer camp experiences for our families.

Because of Carolyn, we are able to serve more and continue building something truly special for our community.

We are so proud of you and deeply grateful for all that you do, Carolyn!

Autism Awareness Month is more than a moment on the calendar at ACT, it’s a reflection of the heart behind everything we do. Every family and every milestone matters. One of the most meaningful parts of this journey is knowing we’re not doing it alone and we’re surrounded by a community that shows up alongside us.

That’s why working with a local provider matters. ACT and it's owners were born and raised in Memphis. It means your child isn’t just receiving services; they’re part of a village. A village that partners, advocates, and creates real opportunities for connection and inclusion right here in Memphis.

We’re so grateful for the incredible partnerships that help us bring this to life:

🏀 Our continued collaboration with the Memphis Grizzlies—including Grizzlies Take Over ACT on 4/7—bringing energy, joy, and unforgettable moments to our kiddos.

🚒 Our partnership with the Memphis Fire Department—where you can purchase shirts that give back directly to the children we serve right here at ACT. https://stores.inksoft.com/mfdaa26/shop/home

🌳 Bert Ferguson Family Day on 4/11—a chance for families to come together, play, and celebrate in a fun, inclusive environment.

🎓 And today, we’re so proud of Cortland Cocke, BCBA as she returns to her alma mater to share her passion and knowledge, helping grow the next generation of professionals in this field.

This is what Autism Awareness Month looks like to us: connection, community, and showing up for one another in meaningful ways.

We can’t wait to share all that April has in store. Stay tuned for more moments that remind us why we do what we do. 💙

💙 Let’s Keep the Momentum Going! ❤️

The Memphis Fire Department Autism Awareness T-shirt campaign is off to a great start! So far, 513 shirts have been ordered, and the support from our Memphis Fire family and community has been incredible.

Now let’s push to the next goal — selling 300 more shirts!

If you haven’t ordered your Autism Awareness T-shirt yet, there’s still time to be part of this important effort. Every shirt helps raise awareness and shows support for individuals and families affected by autism.

Please share this with your family and friends and help us spread the word. Together, we can make an even bigger impact. 💙🔥!
