Houston-Lantrip Center for Literacy and Learning

The Hardin-Simmons University Houston-Lantrip Center for Literacy and Learning is dedicated to providing support for individuals with autism spectrum disorders, and other learning differences through teacher education, professional development, community outreach, and parental and student resources.

The HSU Houston-Lantrip Center achieves this mission through two programs: dyslexia services and autism spectrum disorder services.

The goals of the autism spectrum disorder services program are:

• Providing support to students with behavioral and social needs
• Promoting understanding of autism and related disorders
• Preparing school district personnel to serve the diverse needs of students with ASD.
• Participating in research in Applied Behavioral Analysis and related areas.
• Disseminating information related to the United States Office of Special Education, Texas State Board of Education, and Advocacy group autism policies/programs.
• Supporting families of students with autism spectrum disorders through parent support groups and advocacy

Seminars and workshops are scheduled throughout the year to train and support adults who work directly with students who have autism or other learning difficulties.

A Register Behavior Technician certificate program is currently available through the Houston-Lantrip Center for Literacy and Learning. Additionally, a Special Education Certification is available through the School of Education to enhance these certification programs.
