Amy Buie is the founder and Executive Director of The Center for Autism Education. She is a board Certified Behavior Analyst and has over 14 years of experience with students who have Autism, Asperger’s Syndrome and other developmental disabilities. Amy opened the school in August of 2002 because she found that far too many children were being taken out of public schools due to a lack of adequate programs and resources for the “hardest of the hardest” kids. She is also the Executive Director of AESS, Autism Education and Support Services. AESS provides consultation to school districts and families as well as offers workshops and training across many states in the Midwest.

The Center for Autism Education is located in the Christopher S. Kit Bond Family Support Center in O’Fallon, Missouri. The facility is shared with Family Support Services a non-profit agency that provides services for families such as respite and after school care for children and adolescents with developmental disabilities.
