Mitchell’s Place is a cutting edge, evidence-based center that is committed to providing a nurturing environment aimed at improving the quality of life for their clients and families.

Mitchell’s Place specializes in improving the lives of children affected by autism and other developmental disabilities, and also focuses on early learning for preschool aged children. They use quality diagnostic, educational and therapeutic services provided by highly skilled therapy teams to unlock each child’s potential. These teams work to remediate social, communicative, adaptive and academic functioning while simultaneously reducing and decelerating maladaptive behavior.

Mitchell’s Place employs highly qualified and caring therapists, analysts and teachers to implement each child’s treatment and instruction. Accurate and on-going assessments are provided to create individualized and comprehensive treatment plans. In addition, parents are empowered with the specific skills essential to supporting their child’s learning.

Mission

To provide comprehensive, research-based services for children and families affected by autism spectrum disorder and other developmental disabilities.

History

Mitchell’s Place was established in 2005 after Nancy and Allen Meisler became frustrated by the lack of services and autism treatment options for their son, Mitchell. Allen and Nancy spent years searching for a facility to help their son, only to realize no full-service facilities existed in the state of Alabama. Through their constant advocacy and support, Mitchell’s Place has now served over 2,500 families throughout the Southeastern United States. 

Mitchell’s Place works to meet the growing need for specialized services for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and their families, in the greater Birmingham area and beyond.
