New center for children with autism opens in Germantown

Little Leaves Behavioral Services has opened its newest location at 20400 Observation Drive in Germantown. The center uses Applied Behavioral Analysis to help children aged one to six to "reduce their symptoms of autism," Little Leaves said in a press release Wednesday. The facility will move to a nearby location that is now under construction. At that point, Little Leaves said the center will have the capacity to serve 40 children at once, but is still accepting applications now.
