NEAR GALESBURG (WKZO) — It used to be a Television Facility at 35th Street and I-94 near Galesburg.
Now Lawrence Productions has been repurposed and has become the Jack and Joanne Lawrence Great Lakes Autism Center.
It’s an extension of the Autism Center in Portage which was built just a few years ago, but has quickly filled up as more and more children are diagnosed with the communications disorder.
Jeana Kerber says about 50% of the children can be prepared for mainstreaming into the public schools with the help of therapy.
Joanne Lawrence says they have worked miracles remodeling the place, and there is more room for growth at the site.
They held the grand opening for the facility Tuesday evening.
