If you are registered in ECHO or ASD, consider Autism Spectrum Therapies (AST) for behavioral therapy services for your child.

Autism Spectrum Therapies (AST) provides individuals with autism with a range of services from infancy through adulthood, as well as comprehensive training and support for parents and families. Our services are grounded in the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), the most widely researched and scientifically-validated method for treating autism.

Our autism therapy programs are based on scientifically-proven methods designed to develop language and social skills within developmentally-appropriate play activities and natural family routines.

Autism Spectrum Therapies (AST) meets and/or exceeds all of the criteria for a service provider under the Enhanced Access to Autism Services Demonstration. Autism Spectrum Therapies (AST):

• implements basic principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and target behaviors associated with the core deficits of autism.
• focuses on changing the child's behavior by observing and measuring the behavior in real-life environments.
• uses scientific behavioral data to identify functional relationships between environmental events and behavior.
• gathers behavioral data to track progress in reaching behavioral objectives identified in the Behavior Plan and periodically modifies the plan to adapt to the child's response to the intervention.
• incorporates parent training so family members/caregivers can teach and support skills during typical family activities.
• requires meetings between family members/caregivers and those designing and implementing the intervention program.
