My name is Travis and I am almost 4 years old. I came to Children’s Place when I got diagnosed with Autism. My mom was worried; I wasn’t like other children. I like to break things apart and see how they work. Sometimes people say I am mean and destructive. Since I have been at Children’s Place, I have found a place where I can learn and explore.

Autism affects 1 in 110 children and 1 in 70 boys.

At Children's Place
we can create.

Comments from the Board:

What it means to be a member of Board of Directors of Childrens Place:
It means taking pride in what you do for Aiken County Children
It means working hard to provide necessary funds to keep the program running
It means crying for joy when a child acheives something he did because we are there.
It means feeling grateful for the staff who lovingly provide care every day under hard conditions.
It means the world to me.

As a nurse, I am tasked with helping people. I can not imagine anything better than helping inocent children. Children's Place helps the needy and hurting children of Aiken County in a way that I have not seen before. The staff are fully engaged in their mission! It is an honor to serve with the best of Aiken County.
