Who does The Resource Center Serve?

Behavioral Pediatrics Resource Center serves organizations that serve throughout Georgia, with an emphasis on rural south Georgia.

Does The Resource Center only serve Dr. Zeanah’s patients?

No, the resource center serves organizations across all of Georgia. We are a non-profit that works to better the lives of all children with autism in the state. Please note that Michelle Zeanah, MD is our executive director, but grant money can not be used to pay for medical services in her practice.  Furthermore, any family in south Georgia can participate in the Behavioral Pediatrics Resource Center’s activities.  No affiliation with Dr. Zeanah’s medical practice is needed.

What is the “spectrum” of autism?

Autism is commonly known to be a “spectrum,” meaning, no two people with autism are exactly alike. There are many different characteristics of autism, and those who are diagnosed can have any number and combination of those characteristics with varying degrees of severity.

What’s up with all the puzzle pieces?

A puzzle piece is often a symbol or image for autism. That is because many time when someone is diagnosed with autism, their parents and themselves understand the “missing piece.” An autism diagnosis can explain behaviors that nothing else can, so it is often viewed as a the final puzzle piece to understanding either yourself or your child.
