The Thompson Center for Autism and Neurodevelopmental Disorders will welcome a new executive director and celebrate the opening of its new facility at 205 Portland St. with an open house at 10 a.m. on Dec. 3.
Joel Bregman was named the center’s director in September. He replaces Jim Poehling, who became assistant vice chancellor of health sciences. The new 26,000 square-foot center was funded by $5 million from the state. It includes new exam, therapy and testing rooms, as well as a new classroom.
