"A San Antonio center that treats and educates autistic children has abruptly closed, leaving 35 employees without a job and stunning dozens of families who rely on the facility for its specialized care.
Because of financial difficulties — and more than $100,000 in debt — the Treehouse Pediatric Center & Behavioral Services was forced to shutter Thursday, its officials said, blaming in part its largest payee, a military health insurance manager that officials said hasn't paid in three months.
“I know everyone has a lot of questions. We have a lot of questions, but we don't know all the answers yet,” said Alicia Haff, a local attorney who has served as a Treehouse board member since 2004. “Unfortunately, Treehouse is done, bowing out.”"
