In the fall of 2018, Aces for Autism purchased 23.83 acres on Worthington Road in Winterville, NC. Plans are underway for the Ron and Rose Bowen Family Autism Campus which will provide treatment, care, educational and recreational space for children and families affected by autism.
In August 2014, Aces for Autism was founded to provide access to quality services for children and families impacted by autism. The organization has seen tremendous growth due to the demand for services in the eastern North Carolina region.
“Our goal from day one was to impact families similar to how ABC of NC impacted our son Samuel. We have been blown away by not only the support from Greenville and the entire eastern North Carolina region, but by the demand for quality services. We will not stop working until we meet the needs of the autism community. Unfortunately, we currently have to turn away countless of families who are desperately asking for and need our help. This campus will allow us to provide a wide range of services that will impact individuals in a variety of ways. Most importantly, we want this campus to be a symbol of HOPE. Hope that each individual can reach his or her full God given potential. “– Co-founder Kyle Robinson
