History
Empower was originally founded as Haugland Therapy Services by Michele LaMarche, Dr. Morten Haugland, and Jason R. Ramage in 2013 to provide services to students enrolled at Haugland Learning Center (now known as New Story Schools), which operates charter schools for children affected by Autism Spectrum Disorder and other Developmental Disabilities. Since that time Haugland Therapy Services has changed its name to Empower and has expanded to provide services at schools, therapy centers, in homes, and in the community throughout Ohio. Additionally, Empower operates the Autism Intervention Center.
