Jackson Autism Center
Jackson Autism Center (JAC) is a center designed to meet the developmental needs of children, including but not limited to: educational, social, communication and language, behavioral, and self-help skills. The focus of JAC begins with the child, followed by the family, and ultimately the school and community environments. Learning strategies for children attending JAC will vary, as children’s learning styles vary. There is not one strategy that works for all children and so JAC will fit your child’s program to meet the needs of your child. Some of these strategies include: verbal behavior, applied behavior analysis, SCERTS, TEAACH, sensory integration, and augmentative and alternative communication.

Dr. Rebecca Mullican was a hands-on teacher and provided materials for teachers and assistants working with her students on a yearly basis and as needed throughout the year. She met with each general education class that has a child with autism included in it, provides information to the students on autism, and how to interact and include the child appropriately. She motivated teachers and parents alike to stand up for their child and have high expectations. Parents of her students are highly impressed with her classroom and their child’s progress while taught by her. Students enjoy coming to school and are pushed to achieve their maximum potential.
Dr. Rebecca Mullican has a passion for providing intervention services to children with disabilities. Rebecca left the classroom and founded Jackson Autism Center to make a greater impact for kids with disabilities, families, and the community. She believes that each child needs a program built around how he or she learns; there is not a one-size-fits-all.
