FARMINGTON — The Children’s Center has announced that it will open a site in Farmington on Monday, Nov. 7.

It will offer center-based programming to children from birth through age 5 with an autism or mental health diagnosis and children exhibiting significant interfering behaviors under Children’s Behavioral Health Day Treatment (Section 65 Services). It will also offer children’s targeted case management to newborns and children up to 12 years of age and their families.

Overseen by licensed clinical social worker Linda Riley, behavioral health professionals will provide half-day or full-day specialized services in a highly structured setting with a high child-to-staff ratio.

Jonathan Kimball, board-certified behavioral analyst, will provide support for programming created based on principals of Applied Behavioral Analysis using discrete trials and data collection to inform treatment and create programs.

Targeted case managers will offer children and families additional assistance in assessing and developing a plan to make referrals for needed services and access resources in the community.

The center will be located at 508 Fairbanks Road in Farmington.
