Bierman Autism Centers announced that Erica N. - Needham is a clinician-in-training champion.

Bierman Autism Centers delivers play-based, personalized therapy that transforms the lives of children diagnosed with autism and the lives of those who support them. Since 2006, we’ve helped children build skills in communication, independence, and self-advocacy in warm, structured centers designed for joy and growth. We operate like a teaching hospital, balancing two core goals: delivering exceptional outcomes for children and developing extraordinary clinicians. This dual mission drives everything we do, from precision teaching and real-time data to mentorship and structured training through Bierman University. Our interdisciplinary approach includes ABA, speech, and occupational therapy in locations across Arizona, Indiana, Massachusetts, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, and Rhode Island. With secure environments and a family-focused philosophy, every center is built for learning, laughter, and lifelong progress. Bierman isn’t just where therapy happens. It’s where careers take off, communities come together, and breakthroughs unfold every day. Our mission is simple: create progress and possibilities® for every child and every team member.
