Kristin Wier has firsthand knowledge of how underserved Southwest Michigan’s autism communities are. As a Berrien County native and longtime educator working at centers in east Michigan before returning home and founding Logan Center in South Bend. Kristin aims to open more centers to assist as many families as possible.
Last year, she opened up a unique learning center in Benton Harbor that goes against traditional learning center stereotypes with its bright colors and modern design – it is also Southwestern Michigan’s only non-profit autism learning center where kids may receive up to 35 hours per week of therapy treatment depending on their individual needs.
Last September, LOGAN Autism Learning Centers unveiled another autism learning center in Logansport, Indiana, which will offer similar services for children up to age 12. This marks their fourth location since 2016; their organization hopes to expand further.
Locations

Our community continues flourishing, and LOGAN looks forward to our collective future!
