Center-Based Autism Services

About Our Center-Based ABA Programs

Ascend Autism’s ABA therapy centers provide personalized ABA therapy for children ages 18 months – 6 years old. Our programs are led by an experienced team of Board Certified Behavior Analysts and supported by Registered Behavior Therapists who provide fun, play-based ABA therapy services based on your child’s individual needs and goals. All services are covered by most commercial insurances and can act as a therapeutic alternative to daycare. 

 

Children receive classroom and one-on-one instruction to help them grow in the following areas:

What Does a Regular Day Look Like at Ascend Autism?

Children at our ABA centers participate in the following daily activities:

Full-Day Program

The full-day program is ideal for children ages 2-5 as well as working families. In this program, you child will be able to make significant progress while benefiting from a preschool structure that will prepare them for Kindergarten and beyond.

Half-Day Program

The half-day program is similar to the full-day program, but it has fewer hours per week.

What is Center-Based ABA Therapy?

Center-based ABA therapy is a type of program where your child receives one-on-one ABA therapy at an ABA center rather than at home. ABA centers provide safe and structured environments designed to help your child learn skills that will serve them it and outside of the home.

What are the Benefits of Center-Based ABA for Children with Autism?

Program Structure & Skill Generalization

The structure and predictability of an ABA center allows children to feel safe and focus on skill building. Learning at a center also helps children generalize these skills to use them at home, in school, and out in public.

Easy Access to a Team of Specialists

This type of therapy takes place in collaboration with Behavior Technicians and Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBA). Using their expertise, these specialists can review and adjust treatment as needed.

Social Skill Development & Group Participation

Compared to in-home therapy, learning in a center provides more opportunities to interact with new people, toys, and environments – all with fewer distractions.

Flexibility For Parents

Center-based therapy gives busy parents the opportunity to work, run errands, and complete other tasks while knowing their child is safe and receiving care. Our center-based programs include half-day, full-day, and after-school services.
