The Social Learning Center (SLC)
was founded in 2009 based off a need Dr. Abildgaard recognized early in his career when working with individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). Since opening their doors, the SLC has grown to offer a range of therapeutic services including social cognitive groups, mental health counseling, educational consultation, professional development, executive function coaching and parent advocacy.
Our Mission Statement: We are a clinical group dedicated to supporting and enhancing growth and development at the individual and systems level. As professionals of mental health counseling and educational interventions, we understand ourselves to be agents of change in the field. We pride ourselves on promoting full and meaningful inclusion in society, as well as social justice for all neurodiverse individuals.
— Dr. Chris Abildgaard, Ed.D, NCSP, LPC, NCC
