HAVE YOUR GIFT MATCHED

Crane Elder Law Firm will match donations up to $5,000 if you support the All In Campaign, Learning Interventions Initiative. For several years, gifts from Crane Elder Law Firm have gone directly to HAVEN Academy, which serves students with severe Emotional Behavior Disorders and Autism. The program serves students from Cobb and Douglas counties, and the city of Marietta. Their support has made it possible to offer music therapy and provide special equipment to assist with mobility and self-managing.


H.A.V.E.N. implements therapeutic interventions which are cognitive and behavioral in nature. Students are taught to replace their maladaptive behaviors with prosocial behaviors. They are also taught skills that will generalize in multiple settings. Progress meetings are scheduled frequently to readjust based upon the needs of the student.
