Spartanburg

About Spartanburg

In January 2018, we opened the doors of our Spartanburg campus, located in the heart of Downtown Spartanburg.  This space houses ABA therapy, supported and supervised by Board Certified Behavior Analysts. We also offer speech therapy and occupational therapy to current clients.

This campus, which is adjacent to the Mary Black Rail Trail,  features a large training area with therapy observation options, communal indoor eating and activity areas, a large enclosed outdoor playground, and easy field trip access to numerous community locations.

We are grateful to the Miller family who generously purchased this campus and to the many donors who have supported its renovation and services: the employees of Southeastern Paper Group, Longleaf Fund, Mary Black Foundation, Spartanburg Regional Foundation, United Way of the Piedmont, and Women Giving for Spartanburg.
