Deb Jones

Founder & CEO

Deb has spent more than three decades in corporate America, including leadership roles with McDonald’s Corporation and later in restaurant consulting. Deb’s work extended into community-centered projects such as consulting for Delish Sisters Restaurant, where she became closely involved with employment initiatives supporting individuals with intellectual disabilities, including Clemson LIFE students. Through these experiences, she saw firsthand how strong systems, intentional leadership, and the right teams can open doors to opportunity and independence.

Deb envisions a center where clinical excellence, operational integrity, and genuine compassion intersect. Her goal is to create an environment where families feel fully supported, and children receive the high-quality, individualized care they deserve. By building resilient teams and sustainable systems, she ensures that children with autism have the resources to grow, gain independence, and lead fulfilling lives.

Outside of her professional work, Deb embraces life to the fullest; whether she’s traveling, exploring unique restaurants, or enjoying quality time with her family
