Ascend Autism’s services are personalized to meet each child’s specific needs and are delivered through a naturalistic and engaging play-based approach. Our comprehensive autism therapy programs 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 services are overseen and directed by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA).
Our full-day ABA therapy program is suited for younger children (18 months to 6 years old). Our program focuses on developing skills in three main areas: behavior, communication, and social skills. This 35-40 hour weekly program is ideal for working families in the Nashville area.
Our half-day ABA therapy program offers similar benefits to the full-day program in a less intensive format of 20-25 hours per week during either a morning or afternoon session.
This after-school ABA therapy program is ideal for school-aged children in the Nashville area to address behaviors and develop social skills while practicing these skills with other children of similar age. Our after-school program has limited availability. Get in touch with Ascend Autism today to learn more about our after-school program.
Group programs are integrated into our center-based services. They are 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.
These dedicated sessions with your BCBA provide the training and support for parents and other family members to transfer the progress at the center to the home.
Enroll with Ascend Autism either online or by phone. To move forward with the registration process, parents must submit:
Our office will contact your insurance company to verify benefits and we will send you an intake packet for your child.
Once your insurance benefits have been verified, we will arrange an assessment with one of our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBA). The BCBA will use these assessments to develop a comprehensive treatment plan for your child.
Once a plan is ready, the BCBA will schedule a meeting with you to review the treatment plan and make any final adjustments before the first therapy session.
After the assessment, the BCBA will submit a service request to the insurance company to recommend the child’s specific hours or therapy. It generally takes about two weeks to process this request.
Once your treatment plan is finalized, we will contact you to coordinate a start date. Therapy begins!
