Celebrating 25 Years of CLC!
For a quarter century, the Comprehensive Learning Center has supported children and adults with autism as they develop new skills, build confidence, and achieve greater independence. What began as a small vision has grown into a thriving program where learning extends far beyond the classroom.
We’re proud of our steady growth as an organization—expanding programs, strengthening our team, and creating new opportunities. Even more inspiring has been the incredible progress of our learners, whose achievements continue to remind us why this work matters.
This anniversary is also a celebration of the community that makes it all possible. Families, staff, and donors have stood with us every step of the way, building a foundation of encouragement and possibility. Together, we’ve created something extraordinary!
As we look back with pride, we look ahead with excitement. Here’s to the next 25 years of growth, learning, and opportunity—for our students, for our community, and for the future.

The CLC Mission
Here at the Comprehensive Learning Center we focus on maximizing the potential of individuals with autism from preschool through adulthood by providing intensive and comprehensive state-of-the-art education and behavioral services based on the scientifically validated procedures of Applied Behavior Analysis.
Through the intensity of our program and by working closely with families through collaboration and training, we prepare our learners to be as independent, self-sufficient, and socially adept as possible so they may be active, contributing members in their communities where they live, work and play.
The AJ Foundation
The AJ Foundation was formed in 1997 to raise funds to support educational programs, based on the science of Applied Behavior Analysis, for individuals with autism. Comprehensive Learning Center opened 3 years later as a result of the foundation’s fundraising efforts and CLC has been supported by the AJ Foundation since inception.
In August of 2024, AJ Foundation (AJF) and Comprehensive Learning Center (CLC) merged and currently operate as a single entity, under CLC’s existing Tax ID number. Founder and President of the AJ Foundation, Joanne Corless, remains involved with CLC as CLC’s Director of Fundraising, and Joanne continues her work in her capacity as President of AJF (now a division of CLC) in support of the vision and mission that the AJ Foundation and CLC have brought to life. We know that our organizations are better together – and we are excited for this streamlined approach to future fundraising by the AJ Foundation in support of CLC!
Making A Difference
How We Began: One Mother's Determination
Joanne Corless refused to back down until her son and other children with autism spectrum disorders had a place to be educated. Read the article in Family Circle Magazine, March 2012.
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and AUTISM:
Behavior techniques, based on the principles of ABA, are applied to the learners' individualized education and treatment programs and are adapted through all phases of their development.
