Our Story

The South Shore Autism Center was founded by Erin McLoughlin, Ph.D., BCBA-D, in 2016. The mission of SSAC is to be a warm, welcoming place where children with autism receive high quality ABA services, and where their families join a community of support, knowledge, and care. We achieve that mission through naturalistic ABA interventions in a bright, friendly environment. Children spend their days around other children, including typically developing peers, and with trained, enthusiastic clinicians. Our parent training program is robust, offering individual and group training on a weekly and monthly basis. We are committed to collaboration with school districts and other providers to ensure our clients’ services allow maximum participation in their communities and in their families’ day to day lives. At SSAC, we teach through each child’s strengths and motivation, infusing our services with creativity and joy. Our clients achieve exceptional outcomes and develop skills and relationships to last a lifetime.
