Ascend Autism’s ABA therapy services are individualized to cater to the unique needs of each child and family, employing a naturalistic and captivating play-based methodology. Our extensive autism therapy programs in Westport are designed to target and enhance fundamental capabilities of behavior, communication, social skills, and daily living skills.
Under our care, each child benefits from personalized therapy and support provided by Behavior Therapists trained in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). The supervision and direction of all autism therapy services are overseen and directed by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), ensuring a high standard of care and intervention.
Tailored for younger children aged 18 months to 6 years, this intensive 35-40 hour weekly program focuses on developing key skills in behavior, communication, and social interaction. Our full-day ABA program caters to working families in Westport and surrounding areas.
Our half-day ABA therapy program is similar to our full-day program, but less intensive, with 20-25 hours per week during either morning or afternoon sessions.
Specifically designed for school-aged children, this program addresses behavioral issues and cultivates social skills, providing opportunities to practice growing skills with other children around their age. Our after-school program has limited availability. Contact Ascend Autism’s autism center in Westport to learn more about our after-school program.
Integrated into our center-based ABA therapy services in Westport, our social skills learning activities are an integral part of our half-day and full-day ABA therapy programs, providing daily opportunities for children to practice and enhance their developing social and communication skills.
Our autism support services for parents include personalized sessions with a Board Certified Behavior Analyst, providing training and support for parents and family members of children with autism. These sessions make it easier to continue the progress your child achieves at our center in your home.
What is ABA therapy, and how does it help children with autism spectrum disorder?
ABA (short for applied behavioral analysis) uses positive reinforcement to help teach new skills and behaviors in various scenarios that children with autism will face in life, focusing on the relationship between learning and behavior. Learn more about ABA from our “What is ABA?” article.
Is ABA therapy covered by insurance?
Fortunately, ABA services are covered by the majority of health insurance plans, including Medicaid. See a list of some of our accepted health insurance plans below.
What does early intervention mean?
Broadly speaking, early intervention means any type of intervention or therapy that begins as early as possible in a child’s life. It may also refer to a state-funded/federal-funded program that provides support and therapy services to babies and children (up to age three) with developmental delays or disabilities.
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!
