Programs Offered at the Hawthorne Center

All of Ascend Autism’s therapies are individualized to meet each child’s specific needs and delivered through a naturalistic and engaging play-based approach. Our programs are comprehensive to address and promote the core functional capabilities of behavior, communication, social skills and daily living skills.

Every child in our care receives one-on-one therapy and support from ABA-trained Behavior Therapists. All of our programs are overseen and directed by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA).

Full-day Program

Our full-day ABA program is suited for younger children (18 months to 5 years old) and focuses on developing skills in three main areas: behavior, communication, and social skills. This is a 35-40 hours weekly program and is ideal for working families.

Half-day Program

Our half-day program offers similar benefits of the full-day program in a less intensive format of 20-25 hours per week during either a morning or afternoon session.

After-School Program

This is a center-based program for school-aged children to address behaviors and develop social skills while putting these skills into practice with other children of similar age. The after-school program has limited availability.

NYS EI Group Program

Offered in accordance with NY State’s EI program¹, Ascend Autism offers two-hour sessions, five days per week. These services fit families who are unable to access our ABA services through their insurance

Social Skills Groups

Group programs are integrated into each of our center-based services and an integral part of our full-day and half-day programs. Social skills groups provide daily opportunities for children to practice their developing social and communication skills.

Parent Coaching

These dedicated sessions with your BCBA provides the training and support for parents and other family members to transfer the progress at the center to the home.

WHAT OUR FAMILIES SAY

Parents’ Testimonials

I love the team at Ascend! My son was diagnosed with ASD when he was 3 and our pediatrician strongly recommended enrolling him in an ABA-focused early intervention program. We started with Ascend’s half-day program, but ended up moving him to the full-day program (pulled him out of half-day daycare) because the results were so meaningful. I love that my son receives 1v1 attention from his behavior therapists, but also benefits from interacting with the other children in his class. Thank you Ascend!

The employees at Ascend Autism are friendly, responsive, and understanding. They truly listen and worked to accommodate our family’s needs. We are thrilled with the progress we are seeing as a result of ABA therapy! We are so thankful for the passionate and knowledgeable staff at Ascend Autism! I highly recommend to any families in Westchester County that are interested in ABA services for their child.

The professionals at Ascend Autism were patient, kind, and optimistic every time they walked in our home. For most all challenging behaviors, they gave parents and therapists the appropriate strategies to overcome them. When they were in my house, I always felt at ease and less worried about the week to come. They would instantaneously respond to any texts if a challenging situation emerged. We love the team at Ascend Autism dearly and feel as though they are part of the family!!!

I trust the team at Ascend Autism. They do a wonderful job and really care about the kids they serve. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for an autism provider!
