While we serve learners with a wide range of abilities, our ultimate goal is always the same: to help children with autism reach their full potential based on their unique needs and strengths. Participation in school is a big part of overall success and greater independence. Therefore, we incorporate foundational pre-school and kindergarten activities like circle time, art, group play, and more into our daily schedule to help them be as prepared as possible to one day attend school.

Our Early Learners Treatment Program is a learning environment not only for children, but also for parents and staff. We look forward to partnering with you in your child’s development by providing:

• Initial evaluation and monthly reports to monitor your child’s progress.
• An expectation of parent involvement as a member of the treatment team.
• Mandatory parent workshops offered in the clinic each month.
